Keeper - Steve Kilbey

Waitress with the short hair is stoned

She drifts amongst the tables

Old ladies talk like birds

That’d fly if they were able

The coffee has a calming effect

I’m nervous when I travel

Red lights and steel worms

Let the journey unravel

Keeper

She’s a keeper

Sleeper

You should keep her

The wine seems to have sobered me up

I’m hardly shaking

I’m gonna lose myself this time

And time that it’s taking

There’s no charge if you want to top up

The clientele are extras

Juggle their lives and their loves

Nicely ambidextrous

The speed seems to have slowed me down

We talk about William from Glide

The things of the towns go by

I’m driving on the wrong side
