Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
It's you to me, it's your gentle face, overdue but worth the wait
And out of my reach but I'm reaching out for you
And me to the night, I say goodbye, this time is up, I fight the time
A need an award, I can't afford it, a finished song, one more chord
Already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside
Now everyone back, my heart's at war with all these plans I had before
I'm losing my grip but I'll lose it all for you
So I go driving all around, I'm denying all these sounds that hit my ear
Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat
So it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside
Oh, let me in
Let me in
And it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside, inside
And it's already in my mind
Well inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside
And out of my reach but I'm reaching out for you
And me to the night, I say goodbye, this time is up, I fight the time
A need an award, I can't afford it, a finished song, one more chord
Already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside
Now everyone back, my heart's at war with all these plans I had before
I'm losing my grip but I'll lose it all for you
So I go driving all around, I'm denying all these sounds that hit my ear
Drum the beat of a heart I can't defeat
So it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside
And it's already in my mind
Inside, inside
Oh, let me in
Let me in
And it's already in my mind
And I'm in over my head inside, inside
And it's already in my mind
Well inside, inside, inside, inside
Inside, inside

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”
thats so cute! How do you know this? Is it in an article?
