LYRICS
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you scream and cheer for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess, sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a Koons
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Woo
Touch, touch (Woo)
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
Make it real loud
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
Yeah ah
(Give me that thing that I love) I'll turn the lights on
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch)Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(Put your hands up, make 'em touch)
Give me that thing that I love
(Give me that thing that I love)
I live for the applause, applause, applause
(I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch make 'em touch, make 'em touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
