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