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?
S-O-S she's in disguise
S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise
Coming out, coming out, coming out
A domesticated girl, that's all you ask of me
Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now, with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry
I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday
And Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution
Or decent incentives to keep me at it
I'm starting to feel just a little abused
Like a coffee machine in an office (uh)
So I'm gonna go somewhere closer
To get me a lover and tell you about it
There's a she-wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free (ah-ooh)
There's a she-wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe
Sitting across the bar, staring right at her prey
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
The moon's my teacher and I'm her student
To locate the single man
I've got on me a special radar
And the fire department hotline
In case I get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divos
Or rich city guys, who just want to enjoy (uh)
By having a very good time
And behave very bad in the arms of a boy
There's a she-wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free (ah-ooh)
There's a she-wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe
S-O-S she's in disguise
S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise
Coming out, coming out, coming out
S-O-S she's in disguise
S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise
Coming out, coming out, coming out
There's a she-wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe
S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise
Coming out, coming out, coming out
A domesticated girl, that's all you ask of me
Darling, it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now, with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry
I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday
And Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution
Or decent incentives to keep me at it
I'm starting to feel just a little abused
Like a coffee machine in an office (uh)
So I'm gonna go somewhere closer
To get me a lover and tell you about it
There's a she-wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free (ah-ooh)
There's a she-wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe
Sitting across the bar, staring right at her prey
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way

S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise

S-O-S she's in disguise
S-O-S she's in disguise
There's a she-wolf in disguise
Coming out, coming out, coming out
There's a she-wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

@[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.
