A/N: John and Francis. 

John's P.O.V

My old man is a bad man. But I can't deny the way he holds my hand and he grabs me, he has me by my heart.  He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past.  He doesn't mind I have an L.A crass way about me. He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart.


Swimming pool, Glimmering darling. White bikini off with my red nail polish. Watch me in the swimming pool. Bright blue ripples, you. Sitting sipping on your Black Cristal, oh yeah.

"Light of my life, fire in my loins. Be a good baby, do what I want. Light of my life, fire in my loins Gimme them gold coins. Gimme them coins." I said getting out of the pool sitting in his lap.

----

And I'm off to the races, cases. Of Bacardi chasers, Chasing me all over town. Cause he knows I'm wasted, Facing time again at Riker's Island. And I won't get out.

"Because I'm crazy, baby. I need you to come here and save me, I'm your little scarlet starlet
Singing in the garden, kiss me on my open mouth. Ready for you" I said taking off my clothes.

----

My old man is, a tough man. But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam and he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul. He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life. In fact, he says he thinks it's what he might like about me, admires me. The way I roll like a rolling stone.

Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom. Chateau Marmont. Slipping on my red dress, putting on my make up. Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac. Fumes, says it feels like heaven to him.

"Light of his life, fire of his loins. Keep me forever, tell me you want me. Light of your life, fire of your loins. Tell me you want me, gimme them coins"

And I'm off to the races, cases. Of Bacardi chasers. Chasing me all over town

'Cause he knows I'm wasted, facing. Time again at Riker's. Island and I won't get out.

"Because I'm crazy, baby, I need you to come here and save me, I'm your little scarlet starlet. Singing in the garden. Kiss me on my open mouth"  I lied on his chest.

----

Now I'm off to the races, laces. Leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down. I can see your faces, shameless. Cipriani's basement. Love you, but I'm going down.

"God I'm so crazy, baby. I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving. I'm your little harlot starlet. Queen of Coney Island, Raising hell all over town. Sorry 'bout it" I kissed his neck.

----

My old man is a thief, and I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the end. But I trust in the decision of the law. To watch over us take him when he may, if he may.  I'm not afraid to say. That I'd die without him.  Who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I'll never leave you. They would rue the day, I was alone without you

You're lying with your gold chain on. Cigar hanging from your lips. I said, "Hon' you never looked so beautiful as you do now my man" I caressed his cheek.

----

And we're off to the races, places ready set the gate is down. And then we're going into Las Vegas, pay us. 'Cause you know we'll race this honey it is time to spit. Boy you're so crazy, baby
I love you forever. Not maybe. You are my one true love.

"You are my one true love"
