The Tubes - How Can You Live With Yourself?

I still remember
The girl who lived next door
Love Me Tender
Was on the radio

And I'm sure the road from now to then
Is long and even when it all gets old
The glamour and the gold and lies

The call of fame doesn't sound so loud
Above the vacant crowd

How can you live with yourself
When you're dying to be somebody else
All I could give couldn't shatter the spell,
But I'll wait to bid a fond farewell
I don't know why

All we promised
And all that disappeared
Even through the darkness
Survived for all these years

Here we are after all this time
With nothing left to try

How can you live with yourself
When you're dying to be somebody else
All I could give couldn't shatter the spell,
But I'll wait to bid a fond farewell
How can you live with yourself
When you wish that you were somebody else
