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 in, I’d be
|
Baby, could I bare?
|
Being away from you
|
I found that they put it in here
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Post-Chorus x2]
|
Give me that thing I love
|
(I’ll turn turn the lights out)
|
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
|
(Make it real loud)
|
|
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 was in art, now
|
Art’s in pop culture, in me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Post-Chorus x2]
|
Give me that thing I love
|
(I’ll turn turn the lights out)
|
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
|
(Make it real loud)
|
|
(Ooh) Touch, touch (x2)
|
Ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Post-Chorus x2]
|
Give me that thing I love
|
(I’ll turn turn the lights out)
|
Put your hands up, make ‘em touch
|
(Make it real loud)
|
