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

It's early Sunday morning
Breakfast is on the stove
The girls are riding their hobby horses
Through some imaginary grove
I stop to listen
There can't be much more than this
I'm wide awake in the Hangover Recovery Zone
Thinking there's so much so many miss
I know well how boys can be boys
I spend an awful lot of time with my toys
But when it's time 
To be the good man I see in my mind
I've learned to let the little boy in me
Walk two steps behind

I ain't saying I killed him 
Or abandoned him out somewhere
I still got a lot to work on
Things I'm still to ashamed of to share
Just know the difference now
Between when it's time to let him go and play
And when it just might be better
For him to stay the hell away
One last word to my fellow grown-up boys
In our world, with all its tempting toys
Never lose sight
Of all the good you can do in your time
Don't follow that little boy
Make him walk two steps behind
