"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 break-up with now ex-wife Dita Von Teese. 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".
It was also the first song written for the album.

The only lyrics known are:
Love is a fire
Everything that you think
Burns down everything that you say
Just a car crash away
