Applause
Craig Yopp Lyrics

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
I am eagerly waiting for your approval signal

To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
I want to disapprove the critic's opinions with your approval

If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
If only I could get fame intravenously, then I could withstand the pain of being away from you

Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I got fame and it has filled the void of your absence

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I exist only for the clapping that you do for my performances

I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
I exist solely for the clapping and appreciation of my audience

Live for the way that cheer and scream for me The applause, applause, applause
I survive on the love and excitement you show me through your claps and cheers

Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
I crave for the excitement of the audience and want them to light up for me

Put your hands up, make 'em touch (Make it real loud)
I want the audience to participate by making noise and applause

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
Spell out 'Applause' with your claps, and make it loud enough to reach the sky

I've overheard your theory "Nostalgia's for geeks"
I've heard your belief that nostalgia is only for nerds

I guess sir, if you say so Some of us just like to read
Well, if that's what you think, but some of us like to read things instead of blindly following what's trendy

One second I'm a kunst Then suddenly the kunst is me
At times, I feel like I am acting, putting on a show. But other times, I am the show

Pop culture was in art Now, art's in pop culture in me
Previously art was separate from pop culture, but now I am the embodiment of both art and pop culture
