I stand here waiti-ing
For you to bang the gong
To crash the critic sayi-ing:
Is it right or is it wrong?
If only fame had IV,
Baby, could I bear?
Bei-ing 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)

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 the Koon
Then, suddenly, the Koon 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)

Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now

I live for the
APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE
I live for the
APPLAUSE-PLAUSE
Live 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)
