Some folks like astronomy and study galaxies in the local group
Some like quantum gravity, pulling super strings from the cosmic soup
But I'm pointing my laser, at an earthly crystalline
I'm in a Solid State of Mind

I've heard all the theories on the Higgs Boson and Supersymmetry
Been around the cyclotrons and down the beam lines of high energy
But I can build what I'm needing - I don't need to wait for time
I'm in a Solid State of Mind

I really dig crystallography and the
symmetries of lattices and point groups
Is it orthohombic, hexagonal or face centered cube?
X-ray diffraction is a great way to spend some time
I'm in a Solid State of Mind

It is so easy to get work today
If Solid State is the physics you do
Hard drives, cell phones, computers, hearing aides
The Solid State, pays

Semiconductors have changed the way that we live today
Junction Transistors gave birth to our computer age
Electronic switching - getting faster all the time
I'm in a Solid State of Mind

It is so easy to get work today
If Solid State is the physics you do
MOSFETS, IC's, LEDs and wafer substrates
The Solid State, is here to stay

Superconductivity at Hi Tc (critical temperature) is super cool
Superfluidity of He3 is super smooth
So many super mysteries
We'll solve them one phase at a time
I'm in a Solid State of Mind

I'm building a quantum dot laser out of Indium Arsenide
I'm in a solid, or amorphous, State of Mind
