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.
Chicka-pow! Don't shoot me down
Oh no, how low can you go
Driving fast to get to work
Queen is there just being a jerk
Running her mouth a million times an hour
She's talking trash
It's going sour
That stuff that makes you hurt
Cut you down, make you hit the dirt
Say, she's driving that DIVA thing
That D-I-V-A diva thing
Sing
Why can't you say you're sorry
For treating me so naughty
Just want an apology
Is that against your personal theology
What'd I do to deserve this
How'd I get on your bad list
Just want to make it right
Please Queen please
Let's not fight
Let's not fight, let's not fight
I don't wanna fight tonight
You had your chance to right your wrong
Can't we all just get along
[Chorus:]
You go and talk behind my back
Don't you know that's whack
It's a personal attack
Oh snap
Some friend you are to me
You're Miss Personality
Are you too blind to see
You're such a drama queen
Fresh off the chopping block
She cut me deep and it hurts a lot
She hit me with her best shot
And never gave a second thought
That's too much drama for me mama
Why do you like to stir it
When I am near you throw fits
You cry oh me, me, me
Ain't you got no decency
You dish it out, I take it
I wish you'd just stop fakin'
In your mind your grass is green
But I know you's a drama queen
You're such a, you're such a
You're such a drama queen
[Chorus]
She's a drama queen, if you know what I mean
She'll get under your skin and make you scream
Oww, drama queen
I need a vaccine 'cause you so mean
You got a disease I don't need
And it pays no heed to get it
So better quit it
'Cause a friend in need is a friend indeed
And you ain't that
You's a drama queen
Emphatic, dramatic, you're like a psychosomatic
You're always so problematic
Your drama is cinematic
There's no comparison to the damage you've done
But you've only begun with your hit and runs
[Chorus]
Oh no, how low can you go
Driving fast to get to work
Queen is there just being a jerk
Running her mouth a million times an hour
She's talking trash
It's going sour
That stuff that makes you hurt
Cut you down, make you hit the dirt
Say, she's driving that DIVA thing
That D-I-V-A diva thing
Sing
Why can't you say you're sorry
For treating me so naughty
Just want an apology
Is that against your personal theology
What'd I do to deserve this
How'd I get on your bad list
Just want to make it right
Please Queen please
Let's not fight
Let's not fight, let's not fight
I don't wanna fight tonight
You had your chance to right your wrong
Can't we all just get along
[Chorus:]
You go and talk behind my back
Don't you know that's whack
It's a personal attack
Oh snap
Some friend you are to me
You're Miss Personality
Are you too blind to see
You're such a drama queen
Fresh off the chopping block
She cut me deep and it hurts a lot
She hit me with her best shot

That's too much drama for me mama
Why do you like to stir it

Ain't you got no decency

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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”
<3 this song.
