Down, Down the crooked grey sidewalk
From Observation, they all watch
The boy, in transit, down the street
Up, Up he's looking for comfort
The doctors say he wont hurt
The extraction will be made complete
You can't take the place
You can't take the place
You can't take the place
From a person
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
Left, Right he's flanked by ghosts now
At the corner, bus stop, he stands now
The operation near complete
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
Out from the haze
A kid forever changed
The extraction made
Half a person
As we part our ways
The place, it rips away
The memories of half a person
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
You can't take my place
You can't forget my face
You can't cure this case
Of conversion
