Mr Medicine Lyrics

Oh, Mr medicine
I'm so happy you came here
You went from 'Every man'
To 'Every man savior'

When we all took to Everest
We were lookin' for a change, sir
More those who start to open
The cycle has now been broken

First drop and you get up
There's a pile of dirty laundry
I know you'll clean it up
You're the man to do it for me

I trust your judgement
I like the things you say
It's common sense
I could take three times a day

Oh, Mr medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend?

Oh Mr medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?

Oh Mr medicine
I feel so much better
My friend's a pessimist
But you still impress her

If you need evidence
Then I'll write you a letter
I'll lick the stamp and post it
Just so that you can notice

First drop and you get up
There's a pile of dirty laundry
I know you'll clean it up
You're the man to do it for me

And then I saw
That the patient has improved
Calling sick
Has become a lame excuse

Oh Mr medicine
I will take anything
What do you recommend

Oh Mr medicine
I need my vitamins
Will I feel better then?

This untidy table's turning
You used the best detergent
Now it's shiny, it's not dirty
And we know that it is working

This song is really great, I first heard it about a month ago, on her album. When I first heard it, I though the chorus:

Ohh... Mr. Medicine

sounded a bit like Hilary Duff's Dreamer: Ohh... you're such a dreamer, in fact it's not really aything got to do with the latter song.

So what is Mr. Medicine? Is he a doctor? a helper? He sounds like a person who's a cleaner -Now it's shiny, it's not dirty -There's a pile of dirty laundry/I know you'll clean it up

Or maybe it's a metaphor...

Possibly lazy, possible sexually suggestive, possible drug references! Is Mr Medicine a drug dealer, or does he only write prescriptions?
