Painless Destination

Painless Destination

verse
I been thinking 'bout pretty houses with swimming pools
I been dreaming 'bout foreign countries without rules
been watching late night movies in black and white
been wondering 'bout the line between wrong and right

chorus
ain't no painless destination
you take a long vacation
you're on solid ground it's a fool's way station
you make a reservation on the new space station
but your gonna come down
there ain't no painless destination

verse
I been missing the velvet touch of a baby's skin
I been trying to understand this mess I'm in
I been working so hard just to keep my head on straight
been praying for a miracle cure but it's too late

chorus
ain't no painless destination
you take a long vacation
you're on solid ground it's a fool's way station
you make a reservation on the new space station
but your gonna come down
there ain't no painless destination

Bridge
I got scars on my soul in your name
got a whole in my heart and no one to blame

Break
from the oval office to the reservation
from the Serengeti to the Appalachians
from a body at rest to acceleration
from a steadfast heart to the last temptation
wear your party dress it's your celebration
you don't need an invitation
if your looking for salvation you don't need an invitation

chorus
ain't no painless destination
you take a long vacation
you're on solid ground it's a fool's way station
you make a reservation on the new space station
but your gonna come down
there ain't no painless destination
