Health Food Store

i walked into the health food store
bell ringing as i opened the door
i got cash at the atm
stocked up on vitamins
pausing in front of the medicine chest
you didn't even notice
then i looked and it began to rain
it came down in buckets again
$30 or a suit of gold what will it take to lick this cold?

i reached for a magazine
to cover my insecurity
i asked you about echinacea
i heard it does wonders for colds
yeah i heard something's been going around
everyone i know has it
i brought the stuff up to the counter
you rang it up on the register
$30 or a suit of gold what will it take to lick this cold?

you know it doesn't happen too much
but every now & then it does
some stranger will break your heart
inspiring a work of art
confusion & pain will cease
you'll make a masterpiece
you know you look like one
how does it feel to be another one?
$30 or a suit of gold what will it take to lick this cold?
