a flying lake that bankrolls its own thunder and tips it out for free.
means A dark, dense cloud that gathers before or during a storm, typically heavy with rain, wind, lightning, or thunder.
from A plain compound of two old Germanic-rooted words: "storm," from Old English "storm" (a tumult of wind and weather, related to the verb "to stir"), and "cloud," from Old English "clud," which originally meant a rock or hill — a mass of stone — before its sense drifted skyward to name those grey masses overhead. So a stormcloud is, etymologically, something like a "tempest-boulder": a chunk of weather rolling in.
