It Only Takes One Shot (From The HBO Series True Detective)

My bed is now a cylinder of steel

Cold and hard and shiny, to match the way I feel

The dust in here is like a burning wind

Black as coal and thunder, dark as all my sins

I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot

You were there to see me beg and kneel

What kind of man would ask me, then, if he could make a deal?

When lovers of the future read these lines

A sound of steel and thunder will echo in their minds

I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot

I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot

Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot

Ashes become speed and turn to blood

It's strange to see how sharp and clean, the things that come from love
