He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
open the door, walk in behind her
draw back the curtain, you let it remind her
no one's around, no need to fake it
she's not in love, how can she take it?
give her the time, she'll know you mean it
make up her mind, throw in her feelings
open the door, have her jump through it
she feel in love, how could she do it?
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
crazy galore, you wouldn't do it
seen it before, looks like you blew it
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
you should try to kiss her
just put up your fists
and you should try to kiss her
draw back the curtain, you let it remind her
no one's around, no need to fake it
she's not in love, how can she take it?
give her the time, she'll know you mean it
make up her mind, throw in her feelings
open the door, have her jump through it
she feel in love, how could she do it?
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
crazy galore, you wouldn't do it
seen it before, looks like you blew it
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
do you know, do you know what you're missing?
what you're missing will show if you should try to kiss her
you should try to kiss her
just put up your fists
and you should try to kiss her

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
The lyrics are pretty straight-forward. This is a fabulous song, though. It's got a great guitar and tune. I heard it in "But I'm a Cheerleader" and fell in love with it.
