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?
