Throwback Songtext
von Tony Banks

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
