Any leads on "The Humans"?

I remember loving this band in the early 80s. The band name is so general that all my searches bring an avalanche of unrelated results.

I remember fragments of lyrics...

"I took your Benzedrine"
and I think, "I took your wristwatch/off of your hand"

and another song:
"the wind sang on the windowpane"
"it was like the end of Krypton"

I realize this is a longshot. But I would be forever grateful if anyone had any further details about this band.
