What's Pairs Got to Do With It

You must understand though the touch of a flange
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of growing a film
Cations impact
It's high-Tc, electrons hold the key
You must never ignore Cooper pairs interact

Oh Oh Oh What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
What's pairs with spin-charge separation
What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
Who needs a pair when a pair can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
Making sense of theories
If I tend to look dazed, I have read it someplace
But I have my own theory
There's no name for it, there's no phase that fits
But whatever the reason they're paired at T-star

Oh Oh Oh What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
What's pairs with spin-charge separation
What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
Who needs a pair when a pair can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own mechanism
It excites me to think that way

Oh Oh Oh What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
What's pairs with spin-charge separation
What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
Who needs a pair when a pair can be broken

Oh Oh Oh What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
BCS a sweet old-fashioned notion
What's Pairs Got to Do, Got to Do With It
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
