Correct lyrics :

So we already wrecked the rental car And I’ve already lost my way My feet entombed in this tourist bar For a day, anyway So lay me out on the cobblestone And unfurl this aching jib The streets all built on ancient bones And the crib, are the ribs

Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t the mistral Blow away? Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow

So it’s me and you and the baby boy And a Ford to share the weight Reeking out a little joy What a waste, back to the States

Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t the mistral Blow away? Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow

Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t the mistral Blow away? Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow

Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? (Won’t it blow it down?) Won’t the mistral Blow away? Won’t the mistral Blow it all away? (Won’t it blow it down?) Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow

@Cyberghost "Wreaking out a little joy" would make more sense.

@Cyberghost "We're eking out"
