I'm Eric Kalenze, and Gawker Slowdown is the name I've given my little musical hobby. While I'm currently in a state of semi-retirement from music, I still write and play out occasionally. All songs on this site were written, performed, and recorded by me in my Twin Cities basement.

Lyrics

My mama always said 
The company you keep 
Is like pickin' out your bed 
Difference between death and sleep 

At first you like the happiness 
And it starts up on you slow 
You need a little to help you rest 
And then a little to get to zero 

If you don't feel no bite 
Should try a different lure 
If you don't feel no fight 
There's no such thing as a cure 

She said she'd always love me 
She'd help me hold things down 
She was starin' at that thing above me 
Starin' at my sorry crown 

And now I'm stuck here alone 
With my tinfoil shakes 
The house is empty 
My address book's full of fakes 
I don't have the courage 
To bring this whole thing to an end 
I hope I have the strength 
To change the things I can
