Applause
Chloe and Halle Lyrics

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
I am waiting for the signal to start my performance

To crash the critic saying 'Is it right or is it wrong?'
To drown out the critic's voice and disregard their opinion

If only fame had an IV Baby could I bear Being away from you I found the vein, put it in here
Fame is addictive like a drug, and it is easier to handle when there is constant support from loved ones

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
I exist to receive the admiration and adoration of my fans

Give me that thing that I love And turn the lights on Put your hands up, make 'em touch Make it real loud
I want the audience to participate in the experience by making noise and showing their excitement

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
A call to action to spell out the word 'applause'

I've overheard your theory 'Nostalgia's just for geeks'
I have listened to people's opinions that the past is only valued by socially awkward people

I guess sir, if you say so Some of us just like to read
I suppose you could be correct, but some of us actually enjoy learning about history and past culture

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
The boundary between mainstream culture and high art is becoming blurred, and artists can embody both simultaneously

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
A call to action to spell out the word 'applause'

Make it real loud Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch Touch, touch Touch, touch, now
Encouragement for the crowd to be louder and more active in their participation

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
I exist to receive the admiration and adoration of my fans

Give me that thing that I love And turn the lights on Put your hands up, make 'em touch Make it real loud
I want the audience to participate in the experience by making noise and showing their excitement

(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E)
A call to action to spell out the word 'applause'

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
Encouragement for the crowd to be louder and more active in their participation
