Doomsday Wheel

Welcome to the Circle of Death

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Fun for every boy and girl.

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Come on, give it a whirl!

Spin it to destroy the world!

Asteroid

Meteor

Super volcano

Robot war

Great flood

Zombie apocalypse

Supernova

Here’s what’s next:

Alien invasion

Earthquake

Deadly viral disease outbreak

Ice Age (that one’s really cold)

Sucked into a massive black hole

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Spin to find out how it ends!

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Spin for your Armageddon!

Ouch, tough luck — you got “Bunny Uprising”. Watch helplessly, as you and everyone you love are devoured by hordes of cute, furry bunny rabbits who multiply as fast as their insatiable hunger grows!

Want to spin again?

Well, you can’t. You’re dead!

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Play with family or friends!

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Spin for your Armageddon!

Oh sorry, you got Nuclear winter. The atom bombs have dropped and the earth has become a desolate wasteland. Ready to spin again? You can’t. You’re dead!

Judgement Day. The Rapture. God has ascended the righteous to Heaven, and sentenced the wicked to eternal torment in Hell!

Sentient Plants! The vegetables think now, and they’re mad as all heck! They emit a pheromone gas that makes you kill yourself.

Lucky you! You got Massive Solar Flare. Your goose is cooked, as temperatures on Earth reach a scorching 1200 degrees. Everything and everyone burn to a crisp! Thanks for spinning Doomsday Wheel. I’d ask if you want to play again, but you’re dead!

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Play with family or friends!

Doomsday Wheel! Doomsday Wheel!

Spin for your Armageddon!

Do you really need validation?

Just enjoy your danishes and Starbucks Frappuccino.

Well I’m not paralyzed, but I seem to be struck by you.

I want to make you move, because you’re standing still.

If your body matches what your eyes can do,

You’ll probably move right through me on my way to you.

That was a slice from Paralyzer by Finger 11.

What does clubbing have to do with the end of the world?

I’ll tell you:

The Matrix.

Neo if you’re out there reading this, know that I’ve followed the white rabbit all the way home.

I’m about to hit reset. That should send us back to the height of civilization: 1999.

Yes sure, you may have done it differently. You may not think a song needs six hundred words. Then again, maybe it does.

So, here’s The Laboratory of Doctor Dream.

**

Should you one night dark and dreary

Be on the corner of Cobbler and Stein

Take a bold step, don’t be weary

And venture past the dead end sign.

Follow the deadly path in the wood

Until you reach a deep ravine

Out in the distance, be there it should

The laboratory of Doctor Dream.

Tales of terror have seeped through the walls

Of wicked experiments he does inside

Even one will make your skin crawl

As you climb under the blankets to hide.

Creep closer if you wish to learn more

Close enough to hear the screams

You approach a giant oak door

Push to enter, or so it would seem.

Don’t go in! What are you, insane?

Haven’t you heard a word that I said?

Waiting inside is torture and pain

How do I get that through to your head?

Turn and run the way you came

So fast your heels begin to burn

Forget the night you heard the name

Of Doctor Dream, and never return.
