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

Your nose needed powder
And your hair wasn't quite right
But I never noticed a thing
Band started, and you yelled 'louder'
Tried to start a fistfight
While I looked to check the slack in my heartstrings

You had a look like the prom queen gone bad
And you took deep drinks from the bottle I had
You smiled when I pulled you close
Wet your lips to kiss me, and god knows
I never had a chance
Gone, long gone

Gone long gone, that night I said goodbye
Gone long gone, held prisoner in your eyes
Gone long gone, and nothin' would change my mind
I never had a chance, gone long gone

So we exchanged rings
And you tossed your bouquet
And we went off to settle in the trailer park
We loved in the night time
Laughed through every day
Your sweet wicked eyes always found my mark

But over the years I watched something in you go wrong
Your adventure took off to sing some new song
Now you're all held together by makeup
It takes two hours just for you to wake up
Whatever tripped me up 
Is gone, long gone

Gone long gone, please tell me it ain't true
Gond long gone, that there's nothing left of the you I knew
Gone long gone, now what am I supposed to do
Now that I'm stuck on the one who's gone, long gone
