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.
Saturday, 600 miles
Lie between, the two of us
And telephones, they can't replace
Me with you, face to face.
You gotta tell me it's true
That you feel the same
I'm so much better when
I say your name
CHORUS:
Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight
When Streetlights kissed, upon your lips
My jealous eyes, saw all of it
Losing sleep, we learned to be
Me with you, you with me
CHORUS
You gotta tell me it's true
That you feel the same
I'm so much better when
I say your name
CHORUS (x2)
Lie between, the two of us
And telephones, they can't replace
Me with you, face to face.
You gotta tell me it's true
That you feel the same
I'm so much better when
I say your name
CHORUS:
Let me be with you tonight
Everything will be just fine
With you tonight
When Streetlights kissed, upon your lips
My jealous eyes, saw all of it
Losing sleep, we learned to be
Me with you, you with me
CHORUS
You gotta tell me it's true
That you feel the same
I'm so much better when
I say your name
CHORUS (x2)

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?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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 is about missing someone and just wanting to be with that person again because you are better when you are with him/her.
i love the lines: "When streetlights kissed Upon your lips My jealous eyes saw it all of it" he is so in love with this girl that he is jealous of the lights that shines on her because it gets to be in her presense and he doesn't... its sweet
a very simple but beautiful love song.
