Lyric Highly Strung
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 sympaty
because she s highly strung
oh highly strung, she s undone
highly strung
she s stepping out upon the ledge,
she s got a gun against her
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
but now she never seems the same
she don t talk to me
cause she can t take no sympaty
because she s highly strung
oh highly strung, she s undone
highly strung
this si the song of little Jo
she s not the girl I used to know
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 sympaty
because she s highly strung
oh highly strung, she s undone
highly strung
she s stepping out upon the ledge,
she s got a gun against her
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
but now she never seems the same
she don t talk to me
cause she can t take no sympaty
because she s highly strung
oh highly strung, she s undone
highly strung
this si the song of little Jo
she s not the girl I used to know
