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 I could 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 you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love
And 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 fan,
Then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop c**ture was an art, now,
Art and pop c**ture is me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause,
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love
And 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...
Touch, touch, now...
Woo-oh-oh-oh...
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause,
Live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch

Make it real loud!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
A-R-T-P-O-P
