Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Leave your fucking friend at the Smithtown mall where she belongs
'cause now she's got the same tattoo as you,
And learning all your songs.
She tries to be like you and everyone can see.
I don't want to see her when I'm on that fucking stage.
So keep her away.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
If she takes everything, what's left for me?
Can't compete. Got you beat.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my queen. She's my everything.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my everything.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
She takes everything, she takes everything, what's left for....
Leave your fucking friend at the Smithtown mall where she belongs
'cause now she's got the same tattoo as you,
And learning all your songs.
She tries to be like you and everyone can see. She's a fake!
I don't want to see her when I'm on that fucking stage.
So keep her away.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
If she takes everything, what's left for me?
Can't compete. Got you beat.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my queen. She's my everything.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my everything.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
She takes everything, she takes everything, what's left for me?
'cause now she's got the same tattoo as you,
And learning all your songs.
She tries to be like you and everyone can see.
I don't want to see her when I'm on that fucking stage.
So keep her away.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
If she takes everything, what's left for me?
Can't compete. Got you beat.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my queen. She's my everything.
Can't compete. Got you beat. She's my everything.
'Cause she steals everything, and you're too blind to see.
She takes everything, she takes everything, what's left for....
Leave your fucking friend at the Smithtown mall where she belongs

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
