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 IV, baby I could 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 cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
 
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
 
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
 
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 Koon
Then suddenly the Koon is me
Pop culture was an 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 cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
 
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
 
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
 
Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now
 
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
 
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love
(Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
(Make it real loud)
 
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

hola, Yorsh.
There's a typo in line 2 of paragraphs 2, 7 & 11 --> "Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me"

Also, lines 1 & 2 in paragraph 6 doesn't sound right.
"Koon" sounds more like "kunst" (German for "art"). Though, "kunst" is not an English word, it makes more sense with the following stanzas. Also to note is that Gaga has a song called Scheiße (German for "shit") from the previous album.

Lastly, the last line of that same paragraph: "Now, art's in pop culture in me". It doesn't make sense, but this is what I'm hearing instead --> "Now, art's a pop culture in me"
