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.
this is the last time I will hold your precious body
while days are passing by, and swallows each moment whole
I'll miss your lips... your smile, the glimpse in your eyes and your greatness
I hate to feel this way, but all good things must come to an end
this is ours. from now on there is no tomorrow my friend
how could I know? how should I feel?
I'm misled by words never spoken
how could I know? how should I feel?
I'm misled by a smile never shown
while days are passing by, and swallows each moment whole
I'll miss your lips... your smile, the glimpse in your eyes and your greatness
I hate to feel this way, but all good things must come to an end
this is ours. from now on there is no tomorrow my friend
how could I know? how should I feel?
I'm misled by words never spoken
how could I know? how should I feel?
I'm misled by a smile never shown

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
this is an awesome song. the other part of this song "...we'll meet in the end" is also good. these guys are great. too bad not more of their lyrics are up and people don't really know about them.
well, i suppose they will have to remain low profile and everyone will just continue to miss out.
Found this song on last.fm<br /> The track is so simplistic but the words are so heavy... I love the contrast.<br /> <br /> It just reminds me of those times and relationships in our lives that are so enjoyable, but we know that they won't last... that they were never intended to.<br /> <br /> It just makes you do some hardcore reflection.<br /> So good..
