Preface: Painless Lyrics

Preface: painless
You looked so pretty in that long, tall dress
Pistol for a princess
Approaching Portland, senses pointed west

You can never really arrive
One woman, one man
Such plans catch as catch can
One-off girl, one track boy
One face to ransack Troy
You can never really arrive

Red eye
Throw dice
It's hard to know when you can't live life twice
Turned on and on
On and on and on
Remember when you had the whole world won

But you can never really arrive
You can never really arrive

From the booklet

Preface: Painless You looked so pretty in that long, tall dress Pistol for a princess Approaching Portland, senses pointed West

You can never really arrive

One woman, one man Such plans catch as catch can One-off girl, one-track boy One face to ransack Troy.

You can never really arrive You can never really arrive

Red eye, throw dice It's hard to know when you can't live life twice Turned on and on, and on and on and on Remember when you had the whole world won?

But you can never really arrive You can never really arrive You can never really arrive You can never really arrive You can never really arrive
