Throwback Lyrics
I am the throwback
But you don't know I walk amongst you every day
I don't need moonlight
Or any secret word to make the change in meI don't know what you see in your rules
In conversation or in delicate feelings of romanceIf you know some place I can go
Then I ask you lead me to the doorIn deepest midnight
That time of night when even dogs believe in ghosts
I walk the backstreets
Of every dirty city searching for the routeThat leads me back to where I belong
I don't know how but I'm trapped in the wrong timeIf you know some place I can go
Then I ask you lead me to the doorNobody sees me no one believes me
Nobody understands the words that I sayTell me you see me say you believe me
Tell me you understand and I will be free - ohI guess I don't fit the times
I'm just a throwback
I'm trapped but still I search for a clue
From far away I hear the call
Come on back to meI am the throwback
I have no use for anything I see
I'd like to find a country
Where no one else has ever been beforeI don't know what you're wanting from life
I just don't understand your tricks and your slynessIf you know some place I can go
Then I ask you lead me to the door(I'm just a throwback)
(I'm just a throwback) I'm just a throwback
(I'm just a throwback) don't need no moonlight
(I'm just a throwback) I'm just a throwback
