original cast of ride - out of time lyrics

[martha, spoken]
in the absence of miss londonderry, i will do my best to continue telling her tale of derring+do
uh, i’ll be annie

(sung)
i reach the shore
of singapore
but there’s no time to rest my feet
i’ve got a bet to win
and a finish line to meet
i take a breath to keep me calm
and then i’m off to vietnam

and though i swanned through saigon
i don’t find much joy in hanoi
i quickly move from town to town
the clock is ticking
and the days are counting down
with no companion by my side
i do what i do best
i clear my mind and ride

and when the folks back home come calling
asking questions about all the things i’ve seen
i’ll say i never had the time
no, i never had
i don’t spend long in hong kong
before i’m seeking a way to peking!
i have never felt so free!
i hunt a tiger with some german royalty
the prince presents me with the skin
oh, your majesty!
and says to hit him up
if i’m ever in berlin

in j+pan it’s all going to plan
i’m cycling just as fast as one girl can
when i’m wrestled to the floor
and arrested as a prisoner of war
it caused my schedule some delay
hey, ey, is this gonna take long?
but i made it out in time
to catch my ship from yokohama bay

and when the folks back home come calling
asking questions ’bout the crazy things i’ve seen
i’ll say you haven’t got the time
no, you haven’t got the time

and while i’ve been exercising
i’ve been shrewdly advertising
every godd+mn business in the usa
funeral directors, function rooms
rat poison, elegant perfumes
if you want your plaque on annie’s back
then all you have to do is pay
it seems i’m earning
every time the wheels are turning
on this shiny hunk of chrome
and though my method’s sort of random
every part’s working in tandem
and i’m the girl who’s taking
five thousand dollars home

i move on through tucson
but lose my way in santa fe
though i struggle ’round each bend
i need to hurry on to reach my journey’s end

one thousand miles to go
and i’m running out of time
five hundred miles to go
and i’m running out of time
one hundred miles to go
and i’m running out of–

[annie, spoken]
and suddenly it’s done!
i’ve crossed the finish line in chicago with fourteen days to spare
twenty+six thousand miles behind me
five thousand, two hundred, and fourteen dollars in my pocket
