It's not a drug song. It's about being up late writing song lyrics and having writer's block.
Best Chicago song EVER!!!!
F**king jam
Sound like coked-out drug references to me, but no matter, it's a brilliant song anyway!

Haven't heard this song in years. It was such a pop/top 40 hit back in the day.

When I listen now, I hear great musicianship . That undulating bass is so great and the percussion really drives it. Glad to rediscover it.
The best of the best
Spent a few summers (where my older brother was stationed outside of Chicago) during early seventies, learning about great music, good drugs & great fun!

In features of this track I can't believe they don't mention the driving percussion, one of the great drum tracks, I love playing this song.

Chicago...at their absolute best!!!

This song rocks! Kath is AWESOME :)
The guitar is masterful in this song, I don't know how I missed that until now.
I LOVE this song! By the way, thanks for the info :)
The intro bass line reminds me of a Zeppelin song, I just can't remember which right now....(And as I'm supposed to be writing a paper, I dont have time to look it up haha)

I know it's baSIS IS UPON DEALING WITH DRUGS bUT i CAN oNLY BELEIVE HE WAS SO C^&ED UP hE HAD NO iDEA WHAT TIME IT WAS.
We're playing this song for my Jazz class, but it's called Tventy Five Six 2 Foe instead. It's such old music that the drums are actually called skins. haha.
These are drug lyrics...tru s t me ...I lived through this era...;{>
love, love, LOVE this song! makes me want to dance around!
yeah, it's just weird that he couldn't figure out which (exact) time it was. I guess he didn't have a digital clock...
It's about writers block.. He's sitting looking at the clock at 3:35 or 3:34 AM..
what does it mean, 25 or 6 to 4???? Is it the approximate time in the middle of the night? a score?

I used to play this song with my jr high school band back in the '70's - fun to hear it again!
Terry RIP - a very under rated guitarist that few know today.

Pretty much the best guitar solo ever recorded. Too many solos are just noise and no skill. Terry Kath was pretty much amazing.
everything about this song is good. LOVE THIS SH*T!
