"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 this all we get For our lives? Is love only sweeter when One of 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 Burns Down Everything you say. [x3]
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.
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.
Love is a fire. Burns down all that it sees. Burns down everything. Everything you think Burns Down Everything you say.
