I always thought (and probably wrongly) that 3-5-0-0 is the year 3500.
As for 25 or 6 to 4, there were, at the time, two explanations I was
familiar with.  The "straight" version said it was 25 or 26 minutes to
4 o'clock.  The "cool" version said it was LSD 25 and 6 to 4 was one of
the drug's mixture ratios.  I guess either version would fit the lyrics.
