Brain Tap Shuffle Lyrics
Take the worst of this quirky world
Roll it up in a ball
Add the hair of a go-go girl
Turn it into a dance that's called
The bloody...
Brain tap shuffle
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind
You can talk about your daily grind
While she'll dish out the soft shoe
If makin' money doesn't suit your mind
We've got something here
Here for you
You can sit there and suck your thumb
Hear the rock and roll hum
But you're just a crazy wall flower
'Til you join all your friends on the floor
And do the...
Brain Tap Shuffle
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind
Take your clothes off and start to shake
Shake rattle and roll
Watch the walls and the ceiling quake
Let it move your body and soul
And do the...
Brain Tap Shuffle
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind.
Roll it up in a ball
Add the hair of a go-go girl
Turn it into a dance that's called
The bloody...
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind
While she'll dish out the soft shoe
If makin' money doesn't suit your mind
We've got something here
Here for you
Hear the rock and roll hum
'Til you join all your friends on the floor
And do the...
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind
Shake rattle and roll
Watch the walls and the ceiling quake
Let it move your body and soul
And do the...
Lose your mind
You'll see the oceans part
you'll think your goin' blind.

A great pre-Dan song about ecstatic dance, and it's psychological healing powers. The Bard education comes through in this song. A rejection of Western thinking. "If making money doesn't soothe your mind, we've got something here, here for you."
According to Fagen's autobiography, "Eminent Hipsters," there was quite a bit of LSD experimentation at roughly the same period "Brain Tap Shuffle" was written. But to be honest, I like Luckless Pedestrian's idea.
