25 or 6 to 4 (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY, April 5-10, 1971) Lyrics

[Intro: Peter Cetera]
Oh, be still
Ahh

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes, yes, I do, ooh-ooh

[Chorus: Chicago]
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face, ooh
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take, you gotta tell me, come on now

[Chorus: Chicago & Peter Cetera]
Should I try to do some more? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Twenty-five or six to four, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day, oh, oh, yeah

[Chorus: Chicago & Peter Cetera]
Twenty-five or six to four, oh, oh, yeah
Twenty-fivе or six to four

[Outro]
Thank you (Thank you very much)
God bless all of you, thank you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
