Yet if the lyrics are something as:

PrOne = \lyricmode {
  \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \skip 1 "Lyrics for introduction"1
  \skip 2 "Lyrics for introduction"2
  \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2
  \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2
  \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2
}

They still clash with the tuplet bracket.

I think the problem is caused by Lilypond putting too many systems on
the page (have no idea why). The verbose output says
'warning: compressing over-full page by 15.2 staff-spaces
warning: page 1 has been compressed'.

I added \paper { max-systems-per-page = 12 } and it seems to work as it should.

Cheers,
