25 or 6 to 4 Lyrics

[00:27.38] Waiting for the break of day
[00:33.73] Searching for something to say
[00:40.36] Flashing lights against the sky
[00:46.75] Giving up, I close my eyes
[00:53.49] Sitting cross-legged on the floor
[01:00.13] Twenty five or 6 to 4
[01:07.07] (...)
[01:19.58] Staring blindly into space
[01:25.95] Getting up to splash my face
[01:32.37] Wanting just to stay awake
[01:39.00] Wondering how much I can take
[01:45.68] Should I try to do some more?
[01:52.03] Twenty five or 6 to 4, oh yeah!
[01:58.71] (...)
[03:42.17] Feeling like I ought to sleep
[03:48.86] Spinning room is sinking deep
[03:55.22] Searching for something to say
[04:01.81] Waiting for the break of day, woo-oooh
[04:08.25] Twenty five or 6 to 4
[04:14.61] Twenty five or 6 to 4, alright
[04:21.88]
