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
