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
