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