Dumb Animals Lyrics

Cover art for Dumb Animals lyrics by Handsome Furs

I don't think these are quite the correct lyrics - I hear the second stanza as:

And I thought of you When the lights of dumb animals Shone in their eyes And I'm a dumb animal I'm just waiting to die

Not postive, but that's my take.

The feeling you have when nothing makes sense anymore, you're not special - just another dumb animal waiting to die. Longing for your love, lost in the world. Very beautiful. I love the last verse. Imagine searchlights searching the sky for something/someone to rescue you/for you to rescue - but nobody gets found. All you can see are the stars so distant in the sky.

Great band, the whole album is a brilliant piece of work. Love it.
