25 or 6 to 4

I heard one of my all time favorite songs on the radio yesterday - "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago - and I turned the volume so loud it shook the car.  Hard rock fans will know what I mean when I say that hearing a song like this is an auditory orgasm.  Oh my, there is nothing like the sun beating down, the road rolling by, the wind in your hair and the trumpets of "25 or 6 to 4" swirling around your head.  

For anyone too young to know the song, since the 1970's there has been a debate over what the title means.  Is it a drug song, or is it just a reference to the time (25 or (2)6 to 4 a.m.)?  I opt for the time reference (after all, just past 3:30 a.m. would fit with "waiting for the break of day").  Besides, I used the song in my first wedding (yes, I really did), and even though I and all people did drugs then, I would not have used a drug song for a wedding.  We had standards even in the '70's.

The 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
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4
