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

Oh, 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's on again

Oh, I know her name
Oh, 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

Oh, I know her name
Oh, 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 (highly strung)
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung (she's high)
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung (highly strung)
Oh, highly strung, she's undone
Highly strung (she's high)
Oh, highly strung, she's undone

This is the song of little Jo
She's not the girl I used to know
