Rhapsody for Vata

CHORUS (strum)
F
She's Vata, dry and light

Rough to the touch, cold as ice
Bf
Subtle and clear
C                          F
Can't stop moving around

VERSE (stutter)
F
Physically there ain't much to see

Thin body and knobbly knees
Bf
Cold hands, 
wiry hair
F
Skin and bone with no muscle tone
C

Hardly sweats
Bf                F
Dry like the desert

VERSE (stutter)
Mentally she's a real live wire
Bursts from the gate, but fast to tire

Quick to learn, quick to forget
Fun to live with, but can't commit
Changes her mind

Like she changes her clothes

CHORUS (strum)

VERSE (Up a key and higher tempo, stutter)
But oh no, she's feeling elation

Travelling around too much stimulation
Drinking alcohol, dosing caffeine

Too much talking, no daily routine
(strum)
And all the time the Vata's building up

VERSE (Up a key and higher tempo, stutter)
But oh no, now she's drying out

Thinks exercise is what it's all about
Suppressing normal body urges
Drying out with detoxing purges
And all the time the Vata's building up


VERSE (Up a key and higher tempo)
Oh no, it's getting colder

Not keeping warm like the Sages told her
Drinking drinks with lots of ice
Eating raw food against advice
And all the time the Vata's building up

CHORUS 
Aggravated Vata, looks like a ghost
Shaking like a leaf with irrelevant speech
Disrupted sleep
Weaker every day


CHORUS
Vitiated Vata, black discolorations
Distended abdomen and constipation
Craving for heat
Dizzy and peevish
