I of the Mourning Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Radio, play my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, I’m alone
Radio
Radio, please don't go
Radio

[Verse 1]
I peer through curtains on empty streets
Behind a wall of caller ID
No one’s out there
To hear if I care
About the troubles in the air

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I of the mourning now go
Pick up where my thoughts left off
‘Cause I’m home to die on my own

[Chorus 2]
As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, don’t you know
Radio, radio
Radio, I’m alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I’ve blown the dust off my guitar
In the attic with the stars
I read your letters to feel better
My tears upon the faded ink

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I of the mourning now go
Pick up where my thoughts left off
‘Cause I’m home to die on my own

[Chorus 3]
As my radio plays my favorite song
Radio, radio
Radio, I'm alone
Radio, radio
Radio, please don't go

[Bridge 1]
I sit in the dark light
To wait for ghost night
To bring the past to life
To make a toast to life
‘Cause I have survived

[Bridge 2]
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want to change?

[Chorus 4]
Radio, radio, radio, radio
Radio, radio, radio, radio
Radio, radio, radio, radio

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want?
What is it you want to change?
What is it you want to change?

What did The Smashing Pumpkins say about "I of the Mourning"?

It is about the radio but it’s about things that are much grander than the radio. The radio is the analogy I used to put across other ideas.

We’re being bombarded by Beatles songs and unfortunately Celine Dion songs. There’s something very perverse about the idea that were constantly being assaul...

What did critics think of the song?

Annie Zaleski of Spin noted the sonic similarities to New Order, a major influence of the Pumpkins:

Billy Corgan’s fervent New Order fandom permeates this high-end Machina deep cut, which pairs a Peter Hook [New Order bassist}-reminiscent humming bass line with a mess of tangled, despairing electri...
