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

This one's my favorite picture of you
Your blue sailor suit and no idea of all you're headed into
Forever frozen innocence
Your childhood-chosen ignorance

Another drives away
Another drives away

Forever at the mercy of a big pushy heart
Won't let your poor head get a word in
How many times you been back to the start
With a fresh set of bruises on your chin

Another drives away
Another drives away

I won't pretend there's anything I can say
Really what kind of words would it take to make it better anyway
Going-tos are used-tos, somedays become back-whens
There's really no way around it
I won't even bother to pretend

What's the use in talkin about it
We've been around it
So many times already, you know what I'll say
Next time I'll be up front about it
Into-the-ground it
It does no real good now
I'll stay away
