Revision as of 22:26, 29 May 2007
"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.

- Just a Car Crash Away
Lyrics
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 this 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
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
will burn everything you say
Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn 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.
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
will burn everything you say
Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn everything you say
