Galaxies Floating on a Dark Matter Stream

Songfight title: Galaxies Floating on a Dark Matter Stream
Due: Friday 01/27/06 9:59am pst

I'm taking subject matter from the following related articles and trying to superimpose them onto a personal-relationship model. Or perhaps it should go straight science...

From George:
P.S. some notes: I added a chorus and made the whole thing a bit more pop (which I think the music suggests). I envisioned the chrorus just repeated harmonized a la Green Day with the words in parentheses as a countermelody a la XTC.

G                              G+4/F#
I'm looking out from Quantum Overpass
G                          G+4/F#
Exotic neutrons changing lanes
G                       G+4/F#
I can feel galactic undertow
G                           G+4/F#
I wonder if you feel the same
D      Bb            A
a wall - constructed long ago
D           Bb              A         F     G
From fibers - both dark and plain and yet invisible 
Dark Matter Stream        (Ga-la-xies)
Dark Matter Stream        (Floating)
Eternal Dream                (Ga-la-xies)
Dark Matter Stream        (Floating)
G                              G+4/F#
I feel the weight of endless universe
G                              G+4/F#
On one square inch above my head
G                         G+4/F#
This design can't be intelligent
G                               G+4/F#
(or) Has Albert Einstein been mislead?
D      Bb            A
a wall - constructed long ago
D           Bb              A         F     G
To make good neighbors of us all, when we're invisible
