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.
What do you do in the evening
When you don't know what to do?
Read a book?
Play a game?
Every night it's just the same
What do you say if I tell you
How to keep from feeling blue?
My advice is good to take
And it's easier to do
When you're all alone, any old night
And you're feeling out if tune
Pick up your hat
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Underneath the bright silvery light
You'll be feeling better soon
Pick up your hat
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Hey look, look at those stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh boy, give me a night in June
I mean it
All you got do any old night
When you're feeling out of tune
You just pick up your hat?
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Get out, way out get
Get out and get under the moon
When you don't know what to do?
Read a book?
Play a game?
Every night it's just the same
What do you say if I tell you
How to keep from feeling blue?
My advice is good to take
And it's easier to do
When you're all alone, any old night
And you're feeling out if tune
Pick up your hat
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Underneath the bright silvery light
You'll be feeling better soon
Pick up your hat
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Hey look, look at those stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh boy, give me a night in June
I mean it
All you got do any old night
When you're feeling out of tune
You just pick up your hat?
Close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon
Get out, way out get
Get out and get under the moon

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.
