Mechanical Parrot - Wide Awake

The video was created with the help of this incredible resource: ************* Wide Awake ************** Sleep is taking over my intently covered head. Fight it, listen closely to the fuss under my bed.  I will fight! The one under my bed, He is testing my nerve! I said: you go ahead And get what you deserve!  I’m wide awake...  Still wide awake... I’m wide awake, surprise me with your cunning Make me scream of fright Do I embarrass you? Why do you hide?  See this bat and see this hammer,  I’m all ready  Come to mama! And so i lie with blankets piled over. The night goes by, or does it not? Between my bed and floor The darkness clots!  Counting the sheepies that hop over fences,  Putting together my dignity’s bits,  I don’t need no pills to be brought to my senses,  This time I will win without dopping and cheats! One, two, three sheep over fence, Head filled with sheepies, they giggle and dance. Then I hear a giggle from under my bed. not afraid, not afraid, not afraid!  Lie imprisoned in bed with sheets so white,  Begging sunrise to end the ruthless night.  Eyes are scanning the dark, face white as sheets,  And my hands are wet, squeezing my daddy’s bat.  Never tell me it’s time to get to sleep!! Eyelids, Bloody traitors Drawing closer. Darkness seems to move Toward my shoulder. I think I see his hand Across my bed it creeps He sings the alphabet And chews my fluffy sheep!  I’m imprisoned in bed for what seems years,  Brushing thoughts off my mind until it’s clear.  There’s something that tries to fill the space -  Guess for him it is time to take my place.
