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 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
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Give me that thing
that I love
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
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 kunst then
suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was an art
now art's 'n' pop
culture are 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
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Give me that thing
that I love
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
aah ooh
touch, touch
Touch, touch
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
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Give me that thing
that I love
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
Put your hands up
make 'em touch
make 'em feel love
Put your hands up
make 'em touch, touch
