Tony Banks - Throwback lyrics

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

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
