Way Over in Beulah Lan'

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 in 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
 That applause, applause, applause
 Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out)
 Put your hands up, make 'em touch, 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, touch (make it real loud)
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) 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 cheer and scream for me
 That applause, applause, applause
 Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out)
 Put your hands up, make 'em touch, 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, touch (make it real loud)
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
 Touch, Touch
 Touch, touch now
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
 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
 That applause, applause, applause
 Give me that thing that I love (I'll turn the lights out)
 Put your hands up, make 'em touch, 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, touch (make it real loud)
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
 (A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
