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.
I woke to the world one morning
I did not really know what was going on
I didn't care about tomorrow
I worry when tomorrow comes
I went outside that night
Set the ole imagination a flight
For one second I
I felt like a kid on Christmas day
Feeling stops all if said in a word
I will explain if I may
I climbed up a tree that night
I sat up in the branches and I felt like a bird
It was the best feeling in the world
I felt so good that night that my soul
It seemed to fly around that night
As I flew that night
For one second I
Felt like a bird
Hangin' up in the air
Feelin' stops all
If I said in a word
The feeling to be without a care
Swam in the sea that night
Dove through the waves and I felt like a fish
It was the best feeling in the world
Felt so good that night
My soul it seemed to swim around that night
As I swam that night
For one second I
Felt like a fish
Cruising around in the sea,
The feeling stops all
If I said in a word
The feeling to be free
I did not really know what was going on
I didn't care about tomorrow
I worry when tomorrow comes
I went outside that night
Set the ole imagination a flight
For one second I
I felt like a kid on Christmas day
Feeling stops all if said in a word
I will explain if I may
I climbed up a tree that night
I sat up in the branches and I felt like a bird
It was the best feeling in the world
I felt so good that night that my soul
It seemed to fly around that night
As I flew that night
For one second I
Felt like a bird
Hangin' up in the air
Feelin' stops all
If I said in a word
The feeling to be without a care
Swam in the sea that night
Dove through the waves and I felt like a fish
It was the best feeling in the world
Felt so good that night
My soul it seemed to swim around that night
As I swam that night
For one second I
Felt like a fish
Cruising around in the sea,
The feeling stops all
If I said in a word
The feeling to be free

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Someone told me this song is about tripping. If it is it's cool he didn't started out with "I dosed up"
