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.
What is it, I don't remember
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
What is it, I don't remember
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
(There is no other way out)
I won't be on my way
I'll help you on your way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
(There is no other way out)
I won't be on my way
There's nothing more to say
So far, as you've seen
We've been the hardest team
To bear arms since Arnold Rogers was an island tree
And although the macarena has entirely been
I believe you will appreciate the rest of this dream
I got some lost damn feeling
Like I'm feeling in threat
I was the child in the forest
With the bones and the bread
I was a train at the point
Where the rail-road ends
Trying to roll across sound
On your steam in my hands
It was a trip that wouldn't wanna take again
It is a trip that I thought would never end
It was a trip that wouldn't wanna take again
It is a trip that I thought would never end
What is it, I don't remember
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
What is it, I don't remember
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
What is it, I don't remember
Made my feeling so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I'll help you on your way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I'll help you on my way
There is nothing more to say
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
What is it, I don't remember
Made my being so much better
If I can have just one pure thought
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
(There is no other way out)
I won't be on my way
I'll help you on your way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
(There is no other way out)
I won't be on my way
There's nothing more to say

I won't be on my way

I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way
I won't be on my way

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.
