Highly Strung

Lyrics

This is the song of little Jo
 She's not the girl I used to know
 Forever screaming all the day and night
 She used to be a diplomat
 But now she's down the laundromat
 They washed her mind and now she finds it hard
 I know her name
 But now she never seems the same
 She don't talk to me
 'Cause she can't take no sympathy
 Because she's highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 Highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 ♪
 She's stepping out upon the ledge
 She's got a gun against her head
 She's wired up to blow the power line
 She's walking out upon the knife
 She'll take you to the edge of life
 Just like the song, the pressure is on again
 I know her name
 Ho, but now she never seems the same
 She don't talk to me
 'Cause she can't take no sympathy
 Because she's highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 Highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 ♪
 No, no, no
 I know her name
 Ho, but now she never seems the same
 She don't talk to me
 'Cause she can't take no sympathy
 Because she's highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 Highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 Highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 Highly strung
 Oh, highly strung, she's undone
 This is the song of little Jo
 She's not the girl I used to know
