Cover art for The Northwestern Bearltories B: Kid Cancer lyrics by Orbs

I hear this:

  1. Shedding(?) the stage to be on my way But there's a mean little bastard living inside of me

"Shouldn't have stayed, should have been on my way, but there's a mean little bastard breeding inside of me"

  1. Charmed up you bears now, they're all dead, they're all dead

Sounds like what he says but that just doesn't make sense, any ideas?

  1. I'm made of goo, and needles, too. I'll take it all.

That is definitely right.

  1. Shedding(?) the stage, I've been carried away Like a kid in a candy store, pockets full of razorblades Sticking gum in sister's hair, or in the back of my pants They call me kid cancer, I call myself me. For once it's a name, there's always one stage, the pages of history

"Shouldn't have stayed, but I get carried away, like a kid in a candy store, pocket full of razorblades, sticking gum in sister's hair, or in the backyard burning pants, They call me kid cancer, I call myself me, For what's in a name, as long as one stains some pages of history?"

  1. If these fingers were knives, the things I'd believe Oh, you'll paint a desert with the things you will say. I'd bet these lips will get admired, with praise ? Like any great performer, wanting nothing but fame.

"If these fingers were knives, the things I'd fillet... Oh you, great attender, 'cause I'll think that you're fake, I bet these lips are dead as mine are with weight, like any great performer, more than happy to fade" None of this really makes much sense to me, but I've listened to it over and over and this is what i hear every time.

  1. Shedding(?) the stage, but I got fucking outplayed! And the demon advanced with a hidden agenda: Me ??????, I guess it's been a while

"Shouldn't have stayed, ?but not done fucking up?, and the demon advanced with a hidden agenda: me, For once ??????, I guess it's been a while"

These 2 parts, I cannot for the life of me make out. It's definitely not 'outplayed' though. Someone help me decipher these! lol

backyard burning ants* typo

"Charmed up you bears now, they're all dead, they're all dead

Sounds like what he says but that just doesn't make sense, any ideas?"

Well, you have to listen to the Part I to understand the link. In that part, he talks about the bears: "The Bears asked me to dinner They had me over, didn't have me for. Once again, you sir, have assumed the worst" The destruction is in the human nature, not in the animals' one.
