[Verse 1]
For every child there dawns the day
They wonder from where they come
Why is the sky so pink tonight?
How fast do clouds fly by?

And so you come up with stories you tell
Eyes are open wide
When you tell them about the sky 'n
All that beneath resides

[Chorus]
There is a factory clouds are made in
They make 'em big and blue
The Factory eats you
It swallows you whole
It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave
If you ever dream, at the end of the day
That you're gonna live as a free man
There's no hook, no sinker, no line
And you will never leave
The Cloud Factory

[Verse 2]
If you join the same brigade
I did when I was young
You will never see beyond
The skyline of this town
Take my word, my son and run
While your dreams fly free
Have them write my story down
Like silence breaking sound

[Chorus]
There is a factory clouds are made in
They make 'em big and blue
The Factory eats you
It swallows you whole
It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave
If you ever dream, at the end of the day
That you're gonna live as a free man
There's no hook, no sinker, no line
And you will never leave
The Cloud Factory

[Bridge]
It's sad if you never leave
You believe what you see
And you follow the lead (whoo ooh)
But the eyes, they deceive
There is nothing to see
But Cloud Factory dreams
Ooh whoo!
[Chorus]
But hey!
Isn't it fun at the end of the day
When everyone looks like me!
Swallowing pints of stale apathy
Having dreams where I would be without the factory
If you ever dream, at the end of the day
That you're gonna live as a free man
There's no hook, no sinker, no line
And you will never leave
The Cloud Factory

There is a factory clouds are made in
They make 'em big and blue
The Factory eats you
It swallows you whole
It fills you with conceit and never lets you leave
If you ever dream, at the end of the day
That you're gonna live as a free man
Irony shall be the justice you find
In case you ever leave
The Cloud Factory
