"'Inebriate Waltz' is a haunted encounter that wears the crown of being the most chilling song on the record." - Portland Mercury
***
lyrics: There's no way in hell I'm gonna go out like that
I'm spilling over with poems, from my boots up through my hat
I wrote epics and sonnets and songs , but dammit -
All they remember is "Beautiful Willamette"

Too many bad poets, peddling nonsense and fluff
I think that the public has put up with enough
To you hacks and pretenders, I bid au revoir
I'd rather keep my head down at St George's bar

And inebriate (x3)

I rub my tears into a stubbled chin
As I look in and wince, as I lean out and grin
Over the river, do I turn tail and flee?
Or drop myself into that dark, weird sea?

And inebriate (x3)

That great big river, that great big fall
Coulda took the plunge to end it all
Those little liquor bottles, that sidewalk slip
It was the river that killed me, sip by sip

An inebriate (x3)

I gave it my life, it gave me my name
I guess even a footnote's a measure of fame
But every poem I wrote that you never read
I'll recite to you nightly when you're also dead.
