Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 Lyrics

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond'ring how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
Twenty-five or six to four

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day

Twenty-five or six to four
Twenty-five or six to four

  chicago says that it is about song writing, wondering how much more to write... however, 25 and 624 or references to drugs (specifically LSD.... dont ask me how i know i just do)... so the song can be interpreted in many different ways, both ways seeming sensible

  he is trying to decide what drug to take? An upper or Downer....25 or 624 are the synbols or numbers for the perticular drugs being taken...

  If you consider that he's waiting for the break of day, I think it's the time he's talking about. Like it's probably 25 or (2)6 minutes to 4am
