Lyrics


Waiting for the break of day

Searching for something to say

Dancing lights againnst 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 have tried 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



Songwriters: Robert Lamm
