Throwback by Tony Banks
Artist: Tony Banks
Album: Bankstatement
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
