Softer than dust and louder than bombs

A sort of communal meme, stolen from watermelontail:

The world ends, the credits roll. Which song plays?

By the original rules, R.E.M.'s "End of the World As We Know It" is out of bounds for obviousness. I have chosen Tom Waits' "A Good Man Is Hard To Find":

Well, I always play Russian roulette in my head
It's seventeen black or twenty-nine red
How far from the gutter? How far from the pew?
I will always remember to forget about you

A good man is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
And my favorite words are good-bye
And my favorite color is red

What about you?

I'm tempted to use the death song from the soundtrack meme..."In the Wrong Band" by Tori Amos. The lyrics don't help without the music though.

I do think Tom Waits is an intriguing choice, especially with a line like "I will always remember to forget about you."

I don't see why it shouldn't still count. Besides, I know what the song sounds like.
