Original theme: Beware the Umbrella Left There Forever [万年置き傘にご注意を]

The title refers to a constellation. You can also see a lot of references to traditional children’s songs like Kagome Kagome, try and spot them all!
This track reappeared on GRAY, a 2017 release by Liz Triangle containing a bunch of past tracks that appeared on other circle’s albums. I bought the album but sadly it didn’t come with a copy of the lyrics. I’ve italicised one section that I couldn’t make out, even after checking the version of the booklet I had access to.
歌詞
風詠む不如帰
一夜の夢を狩る
願われて 疎まれて
付喪に至る物には【依り代は】
からから くるくるり
忘れ傘には そもそも下らない
先立つ【後追う】我侭なぞ許しませんと【逃がさない】
人影【物陰】何処までも憑いて逝くわ
忘れ我々 我忘れ去られて
主に思い出せ 孤独な碌な事
阿羅々木 ぶろうとも
無駄 無視 骸なんぞ 無意味な 無意識
ほらほら 嘘をつく
混じりっ気の命乞いは咎を齎すぞ
【からから 迷える蛾が飛ぶ】
【めらめら 燃えろ】
卑しく
唐松をあしらった
柳の様な されされこうべ
こちらへおいでな って
鬼の居ぬ間のなんとやら
いついつ 出やるのや
狐の嫁入りには 御用はありゃせん
至らぬ塵芥
見ていかにゃ死に損よ 百の物語
捨てられた 乳飲み子よ
手のなるほうへ おいでなさい【お出でなさい】
まっかっかの鳥居なんて 狐が見せたまやかしよ
追い越せ【追い抜け】此処は個々の一本勝負<負け試合>
勝てれば儲けもん 負けた時には
藁にでも縋りなさい
嬲られて 毟られて 堕ちる
一つ 後ろを振り向かずに
二つ 声を噤ませて
三つ 日陰に入り込むな
破れば お陀仏
貴方が欲しい【おいで おいで はないちもんめ】
相談なぞいらぬ【こっちで石でも積もうじゃないか】
驚きやせん【危惧せず】 泣き喚きもしない【畏怖せず】
依りつかない木偶【誇示せず】
いざいざ いざ踊ろ【いざいざ いざ果てろ】
ケタケタ下駄が鳴る
荒ぶり禍を齎し、和ぎった事無し
物の怪 夢心地
讃えられ 祟られて 唐松が燃える
不可思議すら 傅く 底抜けの性
【こちらよ】こっから先は妖番地
【貴方の】滑稽さには舌すら巻いて【下らない】
【九十九の】物は大事に仕舞いなしゃんせ
【道往く】次の的はどちら様

Translation
The cuckoo tells its tale in the wind.
It hunts a single night’s dream.
Being wanted, then being shunned—
for those who become tsukumono (for yorishiro)
(laughing, spinning around)
and for a forgotten umbrella, it’s all too trivial.
Take the lead (chase after) knowing that selfishness will not be tolerated (I won’t let you go).
A shadow (taking cover) will haunt you wherever you go.
Forget us, forget yourself and be left behind
and above all, remember something solitary and worthy.
Though you play the part of araragi,
you are naught but a worthless, ignored husk
in meaningless unconsciousness.
Look, look, lying
while begging for your life will bring about punishment.
(With a dry flap of wings, the lost moths fly.)
(Burst into flames and burn)
in a vulgar way.
Weatherbeaten skulls, like willows
garnished the karamatsu
saying ‘keep away, keep away.’
While the oni are away, do something or other.
When will you leave?
The fox’s wedding has no business with you.
You’re inexperienced and worthless.
I can’t bear to look, you’d be better off dead. A hundred ghost stories fill the air.
O, abandoned suckling
come towards the sound of my clapping. (Come out.)
That stupid, blood-red torii is just an illusion shown by a kitsune.
Overtake them (surpass them). This is a one-game match, one by one (loser).
Win, and you’ll profit from it. When you lose,
take desperate measures.
You’ll be teased, torn at, and you’ll fall.
One: don’t look back.
Two: hold your tongue.
Three: don’t enter the shadows.
Break the rules and you’ll die.
I want you. (Come, come, hana ichi monme)
No need to talk about it. (Why not come stack some stones with me?)
Don’t be surprised (don’t be anxious) don’t scream (don’t be afraid).
The wooden doll is unapproachable (don’t put on airs).
Now, now, now, dance. (Now, now, now, perish.)
I cackle and my geta resound.
I cause a savage disaster with no calm in sight.
Mononoke, in a trance.
Give praise, cast your curse. The karamatsu burn.
Even the inexplicable would bow before its limitless nature.
(Come this way.) Youkai turf starts from here.
(Your) absurdity ties even my tongue. (Boring!)
(Tsukumo’s) belongings, take good care of them.
(Travelling the path) who might the next target be?
