Ballet Spandau Highly Strung Lyrics

Highly Strung 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
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
