about

Prior to the, "Lament of the Lonely Bloodsucker" demo tracks-- "River King" is the official debut recording of Mosquito Cabaret.

lyrics

I was born in a shop where my ma kept the books
and I was raised on a barge in the Seine
the men of my blood have all lived and died
either by the dagger or the pen

I've never been a man of means
or known the ways of love
I've never thought that I'd end up in hell
or hoped for heaven up above

Now I lost my house on a game of cards
I should've known they marked that deck
I'd better pack my things and get on out of town
before I find a noose around my neck

I've never been a man of means
or known the ways of love
I've never thought that I'd end up in hell
or hoped for heaven up above

Down at the banks
the river banks
where I lay my weary head
I can forget all of my woes
and I can sleep until I'm dead

Down at the banks
the river banks
where I can call myself the king
I can while away the time
and never worry 'bout a thing
