Lyrics
?WHITE HORSES?
SHE DON?T NEED THE CITIES
WITH STREETS LAID OUT IN GOLD
SHE DON?T NEED THE LOSS OF
A CHILDS INNOCENCE AND SOUL
SHE DON?T NEED THE MOVIES
IT?S RICHES OR ITS FAME
SHE DON?T NEED THE PLAYERS
OF VIOLENCE AND GAIN
THE PREDATORS IN REIGN
AND SHE DON?T NEED WHITE HORSES
TO PULL HER CARRIAGE TO
SHE DON?T NEED NO FAIRY
GODMOTHER DRESSED IN BLUE
AND SHE DON?T NEED PRINCE CHARMIN?
WHOSE KISS CAN RAISE THE DEAD
SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEBODY
TO POINT HER HOME TO YOU
SHE DON?T NEED RELIGION
OR IT?S PROMISED SUN
SHE DON?T NEED THEIR CONSCIOUS
SHE?S NEVER NEEDED ONE
DON?T NEED POLITICIANS
PROMISING THE STARS
AIN?T GOT NO USE FOR RULERS
TALKING PEACE AND MEANING WAR
DON?T YOU FORGET THE S.A.R.S.
AND SHE DON?T NEED WHITE HORSES
TO PULL HER CARRIAGE TO
SHE DON?T NEED NO FAIRY
GODMOTHER DRESSED IN BLUE
AND SHE DON?T NEED PRINCE CHARMIN?
WHOSE KISS CAN RAISE THE DEAD
SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEBODY
TO SHOW HER HOME TO YOU
(MUSIC)
AND SHE DON?T NEED WHITE HORSES
TO PULL HER CARRIAGE TO
SHE DON?T NEED NO FAIRY
GODMOTHER DRESSED IN BLUE
AND SHE DON?T NEED PRINCE CHARMIN?
WHOSE KISS CAN RAISE THE DEAD
SHE JUST NEEDS SOMEBODY
TO TAKE HER HOME TO YOU
