He certainly did earn that reputation.
Slithering throughout the night
Spread terror fear and fright
Jake the snake he came to be
The quickest son ‘o’ bitch you never did see
[chorus]
He was thourough
He ate his cake
This is the legend
Of jake the snake
Left no clues behind
For the police to find
Except he always left his gun
On every fool
That he laid in a pool
Of blood
Jake the snake another strike
His classic pistol, his classic bite
A lovely mistress lay but the killer was gone
The snakes on the run for the deed was done
[chrous]
Wanted dead, even alive
Everyone feared his vicious bite
Never was caught for the lives he did take
This is the legend of jake the snake
Spread terror fear and fright
Jake the snake he came to be
The quickest son ‘o’ bitch you never did see
[chorus]
He was thourough
He ate his cake
This is the legend
Of jake the snake
Left no clues behind
For the police to find
Except he always left his gun
On every fool
That he laid in a pool
Of blood
Jake the snake another strike
His classic pistol, his classic bite
A lovely mistress lay but the killer was gone
The snakes on the run for the deed was done
[chrous]
Wanted dead, even alive
Everyone feared his vicious bite
Never was caught for the lives he did take
This is the legend of jake the snake

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
