Pins and NeedlesPins and needles in my skin, I want to stop the pain No not the needles they’re the cure I better start again For years I’ve suffered in my leg with pain so sharp and long And all the pills and surgery just left me feeling wrong So now I’ve started out anew to find a better way And acupuncture once a week has found a place to stay Instead of pills or shots of ooze when my neck feels tight I get a deep long massage and that helps to put me right And if my tendons tighten up and leave me with a limp I hop onto the indoor bike and ride away my gimp I don’t mean to soPins and Needles
