[Intro]
Love is a fire, burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think burns down
Everything you say

[Verse 1]
She blew me her death-kiss
And the mouth-marks bled down my eyes
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 sweeter when one of us dies?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

Love is a fire, burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think burns down
Everything you say

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]
Everything you think
Everything you think
Everything you think burns down
Everything you say

[Outro]
Love is a fire, burns down all that it sees
Burns down everything
Everything you think burns down
Everything you say

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
