Applause

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 cheer and scream for me

The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love

Turn the lights out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud

Give me that thing that I love

Turn the lights out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud

And make it real loud

And make it real loud

Put your hands up, we can touch

I 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 wise and art now, I've done pop culture and 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 out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud

Give me that thing that I love

Turn the lights out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud

And make it real loud

And make it real loud

Put your hands up, we can touch

Give me that thing that I love

Turn the lights out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud

Give me that thing that I love

Turn the lights out

Put your hands up, we can touch

And make it real loud
