Lyrics

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong  
To crash the critics 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 (Turn the lights on)  
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)  
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)  
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 Kunst  
Then suddenly the Kunst 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 (Turn the lights on)  
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)  
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)  
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  
  
Ooh touch, touch ooh  
Touch, touch now ooh ooh ooh ooh  
  
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 (Turn the lights on)  
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)  
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)  
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 (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-R-T-P-O-P
