"'''Just a Car Crash Away'''" is the fifth track on the 2007 release ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]''. ''Rolling Stone'' describes it as "a bic-waving ballad, a death march punctuated by [[Tim Skold]]'s searing guitar solo." The song was inspired by the death of Jennifer Syme who died in a car crash whilst returning to Manson's house party by his request after already being driven home. In an interview with ''Revolver'' magazine, Manson said, "I compare love to fire, and how it consumes everything, and scars everything, and changes everything. A couple people I have played it for have cried, but I don't think it's sad, I just think it's terribly romantic, in a Bram Stoker sort of way".

A subversive ballad with triturated guitars, Manson’s most emotional vocal performance of the album and perhaps most honest lyrics. Another Skold solo lifts the song to lighter-in-the-air territory until Manson belts out his final lines to end the track.
