Applause lyrics

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 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 that 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

(Make it real loud)

Give me that thing that I love

(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 Koon

Then suddenly the Koon is me

Pop culture was an art

Now, art's 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 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

(Make it real loud)

Give me that thing that I love

(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

Touch, touch

Touch, touch, now

I live for the applause, applause, applause

I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause

Live for the way that 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

(Make it real loud)

Give me that thing that I love

(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
