Dancing Molecules by Jeff “Dr Chordate” Moran

I was dancing with my darling when I took a bad fall
And injured my spinal cord.
At the ER they told me that I’d be paralyzed.
That was news I abhorred.

But there’s new therapy for spinal injuries,
And paralysis might just be lost.
Injected molecules that can dance on the nerves
If I can just afford the cost.

Bioactive signaling to trigger cells
That repair and regenerate nerves,
Reduce scar tissue, myelin sheaths better form,
Motor neurons better preserve.

So there’s new therapy for spinal injuries,
And paralysis might just be lost.
Injected molecules that can dance on the nerves
If I can just afford the cost.
