"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.
Music details
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.

Lyrics
Love is a fire
Burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think
Burns down
Everything you say
She blew me her death-kiss
And the mouth-marks
Bled down my eye
Like her dying
On my windshield
I can already feel
Her worms
Eating my spine
So how can it be this lonely?
Is that all we get for our lives?
Is love only sweet when one of us dies?
Then I knew that our love was
Just a car crash away
I knew that our love was
Just a car crash away
Love is a fire
Burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think
Burns down
Everything you say
I knew that our love was
Just a car crash away
Knew that our love was
Just a car crash away
Just a car crash away
I knew that our love was
Just a
Car
Crash
Away
Love is a fire
Burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think
Burns down
Everything you say
