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.
Prez gorite, prez poliata,
Pod zvezdite, nad zhitata
I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go
And it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know
The boy I know, knows a pretty girl in every town
And the way they look, they were made to let each other down
She got her face from the same house where she stole her clothes
On the same street, there's a dance hall where nobody goes
Four to the floor, stealing cigarettes of '90s ghosts
And then at Christmas time, 'till we exceed the recommended dose
Prez gorite, prez poliata,
Pod zvezdite, nad zhitata
Shte patuvat prez noshta,
Risuvat prez denia i shte spiat do obed
Viatarat gi bruli na srebaren MZ
I shte piat gorski chai ot zlaten samovar
Litsata im greiat s ognenen zagar.
I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go
And it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know
The boy I know, knows a pretty girl in every town
And the way they look, they were made to let each other down
[ Translation of Bulgarian lyrics ]
Through the forests, through the fields
Under the stars, above the wheats
(English lyrics)
Through the forests, through the fields
Under the stars, above the wheats
They will travel through the night
They paint during the day and sleep until noon
The wind burns them on a silver MZ
And they will drink forest tea from a golden samovar
Their faces shine with a fiery tan.
(English lyrics)

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
The Bulgarian lyrics seems inspired from an old Bulgarian song. The "silver MZ" seems to be a reference to the MZ motorcycles.
