Applause (Glee Cast Version)

1. 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 I could bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause.

[Chorus:]
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud!
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on!
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud!

[Post-Chorus:]
(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.

2. 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 fan, then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Woo
Touch, touch
Woo
Touch, touch, now
Woo-oh-oh-oh.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Post-Chorus]

A-R-T-P-O-P.
