This is what she said in a Laura Gross interview in the late eighties.

They were sort of weird collaborations. They weren’t sitting down in a room writing songs together. In the case of Mystified, that was a piano instrumental that I had, and Lindsey took it home and put some words to it and some drum patterns that we all really liked. You and I was reversed. Lindsey had a completed beautiful guitar track with no vocals on it, so I sort of helped with him on the melody on that.

It's amusing to think of Lindsey putting lyrics on someone's song, since he's not known for lyrics. I, personally, think he's had some pretty great ones, especially in his most recent solo albums. But in the early eighties, I'm not looking to him to add lyrics to my music. Not that there's anything wrong with the Mystified lyrics. They work very well. I'm just saying, I am what I am. The Popeye problem.
