Fur Eyes Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning get close to you
Yeah
I was sucked to the river but the river was hung dry

High up in the clouds the stars raise their glass to you
Yeah
Visions of light stream down from the afterlife

Hum at night that feels so right
It heals my eyes
It leads a cavalcade

Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move

Stay up all night so dark I get warm with you
Yeah
Drunks in the street making video game noise

Dust in the city blew into my eyes I get high with you
Yeah
Claws digging deeper and deeper into the earth

Hum at night that feels so right
It heals my eyes and leads a cavalcade

Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes don't feel the earth move

Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes Fur eyes
So right it leads a cavalcade
Fur eyes Fur eyes
So right it leads a cavalcade
Fur eyes Fur eyes
So right it leads a cavalcade
Fur eyes Fur eyes
So right it leads a cavalcade
Fur eyes Fur eyes
Fur eyes Fur eyes
So right it leads a cavalcade

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Officially from the band:

I got the idea for ‘Fur Eyes’ from illustrations in the graphic novel Black Hole by Charles Burns. The story contains teenage characters that get bizarre physical mutations – Burns did illustrations of them in a school photo portrait format. I can’t even remember if there was a character that had “Fur Eyes” but either way I remember having this imagery in my mind when writing the lyrics. The song has an odd alt-country feel to it – which is a bit odd for our band, but since playing it live together in rehearsal we were drawn to its stripped back and simplistic guitar lines. It felt refreshing having a song that barely makes use of distortion or subversive/aggressive lyrics – I think we picked up this approach from touring with Built to Spill in America – they had a real impression on us.
