Applause

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

Give me that thing that I love

(I'll turn the lights out)

Put your hands up make 'em 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

(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

(Make it real loud)

Put your hands up make 'em touch

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

(Make it real loud)

Put your hands up make 'em 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 then

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-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

(I'll turn the lights out)

Put your hands up make 'em 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

(Make it real loud)

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

(Make it real loud)

Put your hands up make 'em touch

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

(Make it real loud)

Put your hands up make 'em 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 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

(Make it real loud)

Give me that thing that I love

(I'll turn the lights out)

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

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E

(Make it real loud)

Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P
