A Cloud in a Box - Pet Shop Boys

Hidden away

Behind doors and locks

A magician kept

A cloud in a box

Once a week

He’d display his prize

To the great surprise

Of questioning eyes

A young girl said

It was sad to see

And wasn’t it time

To set it free?

A schoolboy declared

That it shouldn’t exist

How did it get there

This fluffy white mist?

The magician shrugged

And would only reply:

That was a secret

Between him and the sky
