I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critics 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 cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
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
Ive overheard your theory
"Nostalgias for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second Im a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, arts in pop culture in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
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
Ooh touch, touch ooh
Touch, touch now ooh ooh ooh ooh
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make em touch, 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-R-T-P-O-P
