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 me
|
|
I don't know what you see in your rules
|
In conversation or in delicate feelings of romance
|
|
If you know some place I can go
|
Then I ask you lead me to the door
|
|
In deepest midnight
|
That time of night when even dogs believe in ghosts
|
I walk the backstreets
|
Of every dirty city searching for the route
|
|
That leads me back to where I belong
|
I don't know how but I'm trapped in the wrong time
|
|
If you know some place I can go
|
Then I ask you lead me to the door
|
|
Nobody sees me no one believes me
|
Nobody understands the words that I say
|
|
Tell me you see me say you believe me
|
Tell me you understand and I will be free - oh
|
|
I 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 me
|
|
I 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 before
|
|
I don't know what you're wanting from life
|
I just don't understand your tricks and your slyness
|
|
If 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
|
