Chorus:	 Charlie's gone where there is no touch

	 And none of the crew will miss him much

	 Charlie's gone to where he was grown

	 Living with others yet always alone



Charlie tried to be polite

But Charlie couldn't control his fear

Nor yet distinguish wrong from right

Nor laughter for fun from a jeer

But we who had to share this ship

With such a monster in shape of man

Are glad to see him end his trip

Right back where he first began



Charlie reached for someone's love

He never learned you must not use force

And underneath his velvet glove

Were talons of steel of course

And lashing out at all the crew

Until his Keepers had stopped his game

He never learned the things to do

To merit the human name



Charlie went back home today 

We were not sorry to see him go

The magic tricks he chose to play 

Made quite a remarkable show

Now he's left for a land of ghosts

With no one reaching to him at all

He hurt his friends and killed his hosts

Now no one will come at his call
