Outside Up Inside Down - Your green peas and ham

"Green peas and ham
Sam I am
Without You
Salt, sugar; my world so bland
Only do what I can
though no wishes for me, but no demands
from me … a little man
i'm like like a mustard seed, smaller than
a newborn’s baby hand
reach out little man, reach out…
reach out little man, reach out… reach out"


Umpire’s calling strike three, strike three, three – Out.
Disappear, disappear, their eye’s camera flashes – no read out
So alone, the cold freezes, freezes me, I freeze out
The lock spits out its own key, spits the key, spits the key out
In the world of the Slumber party I’m the virtuoso
Flip the melody front to back, me-re-do, me-lo-dy, me-dy-lo
Song’s message people’s afraid to know, cuz reminded long ago, they lost control
I’m outside of the Refrigerated People but I also stand cold
Me? No one knows, Who's Love exactly my heart had chose
Just living low, born a blink second ago, 33 year old soul tries to ease my woes
on the sidelines, mindless Refrigerates moving to the drugstore
Any emotional aspirin to dull themselves to the unreal Real Tug-of-Wars?
Think its with me - no! some Feel, feel within, its Team "Them" versus "Their own Sores"
Pull until they feel ill till time real still fill shrill thoughts shot through encores
They look Down at me, Look Down and see - how did they end up ground zero on the floors?
Think themselves Bulls - robust, rampaged, but got Riddled by the Matador
Like toys, people no more, went past the red ripped veil wedding shaw
and got tossed outside up, inside down like clowns got a reversed six-four from the core
they’re sinking Big like Titanic, but the entire world shipped to My Shore
because I allowed to be Loved, nothing less, nothing more
maybe decided to walk the plank and knock the right Door
LandLord smiles fatherly, lets me in, i looked in meekly and saw
a place people are never forgotten, no one too small to ignore
a place people are treasured and loved not after but before
but i had no Admission ticket! No currency to pay for
entry, that's when LandLord laughed with joy and the crowds roared
"Child, this place is different, this Place IS it's own Admission Ticket" I dropped my jaw
in this Place I’d be satisfied by cups overflowing, honeys, milks and precious meats - all Four!
but in this Place, even a crumb or Bread, and drop of Wine or
maybe, maybe just ...

"Green peas and ham
Sam I am
Without You
Salt, sugar; my world so bland
Only do what I can
though no wishes for me, but no demands
from me … a little man
i'm like like a mustard seed, smaller than
a newborn’s baby hand
reach out little man, reach out…
reach out little man, reach out… reach out"

I’m not just a man, lost in this world,
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Not without Grace’s Plan, not in this place
vacuous space, when this place’s
Refrigerates’ forgotten the Promise and the Bread, the Blood and the Wine
when i believed everything you said; - when You traded Your Life for mine.

its only Your Green Peas and ham, Sam I am.
I can only do what YOU think i can ...
