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

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
