Sam Tsui - 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 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 scream and cheer for me Applause, applause, applause Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch 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 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 scream and cheer for me Applause, applause, applause Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch Touch, touch Make it real loud Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud) Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
