Robert Lamm has his own site at: Robert Lamm. There is a song list; this is in the 1970 section, but I get not found messages for all the songs I tried. (There's also a wikipedia article on him).

I think the song may be on youtube too (didn't bother following up the reference).

There's a forum on the website that might answer your question. He's obviously awake in the early hours, when he'd rather be asleep (should have taken more), but why? Here's a post from a thread that might answer it: The story line of Robert's music where does it lead?:(the site needed cookies for the search; I didn't check if it needs it to access the thread).


"Robert Lamm said that the song refers to a man who was asked a lot
of questions by his girlfriend in 1967 & 1968."

I didn't bother following the whole thread, but you might take a look (there's a search function on the forum).
