lyrics
MARY
So they have friends. They all made friends already.
I’m not saying I wanna be friends with them, I’m not jealous.
They’re playing badminton. They look ridiculous.
I’ve got work to do, don’t need to “throw a beer back with the fellas.”
There aren’t people here who care about the podcasts that I like.
And I can work out just fine solo on a stationary bike.
So they have friends—well, I don’t need company.
I just need a chance to show who I am going to be.
At this place that values knowledge of technology,
I am finally gonna live out my destiny
At Advernado, Advernado!
All I need to do is program something brilliant and new,
And Mr. Norton will say “Mary, I see something special in you,”
You are perfect the way you are, you are as brilliant as a star!
It’s all value, no more show—no more quips about your clothes!
So if I feel a pang of loneliness, I’ll work harder to fight it.
While they say stupid words like…
BILLIE
Shuttlecock!
MARY
…not that I was invited.
Everybody has somebody in this city where we live,
Except for me…
But we’re just moments from the moment being mine!
So that is fine!
I am fine.
I’m fine.
So they have friends. They all made friends already.
I’m not saying I wanna be friends with them, I’m not jealous.
They’re playing badminton. They look ridiculous.
I’ve got work to do, don’t need to “throw a beer back with the fellas.”
There aren’t people here who care about the podcasts that I like.
And I can work out just fine solo on a stationary bike.
So they have friends—well, I don’t need company.
I just need a chance to show who I am going to be.
At this place that values knowledge of technology,
I am finally gonna live out my destiny
At Advernado, Advernado!
All I need to do is program something brilliant and new,
And Mr. Norton will say “Mary, I see something special in you,”
You are perfect the way you are, you are as brilliant as a star!
It’s all value, no more show—no more quips about your clothes!
So if I feel a pang of loneliness, I’ll work harder to fight it.
While they say stupid words like…
BILLIE
Shuttlecock!
MARY
…not that I was invited.
Everybody has somebody in this city where we live,
Except for me…
But we’re just moments from the moment being mine!
So that is fine!
I am fine.
I’m fine.
