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.
Take me down to where you hide
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now, hold back this pacific tide
Tijuana lady where did you go?
I been chasin' you around old mehico
Gonna find my way back to San Diego
Baby where'd you hide?
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, leave me all your sadness
Make no sound, 'cause I know you'll lie
Tijuana lady, let's take it slow
I know that I'm no head honcho
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Tijuana lady where did you go
I heard you lost a last sombrero
Tijuana lady which way d'you flow
I'm a el mariachi desperado
Where'd you hide
Tell me where'd you hide
Enchilada desperado days
Senorita come back and meet me again
Buena vista, senorita, yeah
I love you so come back, be with me again
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now, hold back this pacific tide
Tijuana lady where did you go?
I been chasin' you around old mehico
Gonna find my way back to San Diego
Baby where'd you hide?
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, leave me all your sadness
Make no sound, 'cause I know you'll lie
Tijuana lady, let's take it slow
I know that I'm no head honcho
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Tijuana lady where did you go
I heard you lost a last sombrero
Tijuana lady which way d'you flow
I'm a el mariachi desperado
Where'd you hide
Tell me where'd you hide
Enchilada desperado days
Senorita come back and meet me again
Buena vista, senorita, yeah
I love you so come back, be with me again

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Ok…I could be wrong…it could be about drugs or other suggestions which are totally valid…but we almost all know that person we met when we were the best version of ourselves, when we were young, on holiday etc..that pure romance, that didn’t have to last forever when we were in it…that we then still seek in ‘normal’ life. Where does it hide? Then we repeat patterns just to seek out that high of those bubbles of time. The high of being with and learning from someone who is different from our selves. Isn’t that euphoric love always a bubble of time? Not saying I’m right - but that’s what I take from it - and remember the times I was high as a kite on a beanbag, with people that I felt like my most authentic version of, listening to this album. Years have passed, grown up shit is a necessary - but still crave the vibe.
