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 I.V, 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 (DAVNCI)

Give me that thing that I love (I′ll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I′ll turn the lights out)
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-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, 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
I live for the applause, applause, applause
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 (I′ll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I′ll turn the lights out)
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-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (make it real loud)
Put your hands up, make ′em touch, touch

Touch, touch
Touch, touch now
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause, applause, applause
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 (I′ll turn the lights out)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I′ll turn the lights out)
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-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (make it real loud)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
