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?
Here I go again
Feels like once upon a time
But this is here and now
You can try to read my mind
Well, life has given me so much
And so much more
True love is hard to find
When you're on the run
While all those years go by
The clock is ticking way too fast
And I just ask myself
What is going to be last
I've seen it all, but still
I've seen nothing yet at all
So I'm still looking for
Some diamonds and pearls
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Well, friends they come and go
Some are here and some are gone
And when the sun goes down
I will walk this road alone
But now I'm here with you
And my heart is full of hope
That life will bring me back
Into your open arms
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Bye-bye, girl
There's a dream that's still alive
It will take some time
A long, long time
Until I'm back again
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Bye-bye, girl
There's a dream that's still alive
It will take some time
A long, long time
Until I'm back again
Bye-bye, girl
Bye-bye, girl
Until I'm back again
Feels like once upon a time
But this is here and now
You can try to read my mind
Well, life has given me so much
And so much more
True love is hard to find
When you're on the run
While all those years go by
The clock is ticking way too fast
And I just ask myself
What is going to be last
I've seen it all, but still
I've seen nothing yet at all
So I'm still looking for
Some diamonds and pearls
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Well, friends they come and go
Some are here and some are gone
And when the sun goes down
I will walk this road alone
But now I'm here with you
And my heart is full of hope
That life will bring me back
Into your open arms
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Bye-bye, girl
There's a dream that's still alive
It will take some time
A long, long time
Until I'm back again
Bye-bye, girl
There's a road I gotta find
Called the gypsy life
I miss that life
Like a good old friend
Bye-bye, girl
There's a dream that's still alive
It will take some time
A long, long time
Until I'm back again
Bye-bye, girl
Bye-bye, girl
Until I'm back again

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.

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.
