Shuffle A Dream Lyrics
You cruise around in your deluxe water craft
And play and pickin' designer shades, don't deny class
And the girls that you know want it mighty bad
They want your kids in a row
They'll be lining up fast to your door
So make a move, castle in the sky
Pick and choose
If you want him, would you share?
Cause that's the deal, girl.
Tricklin' coins
Makin' a noise
Follow it blind
Follow the signs
Why would you want?
Someone so vain
Stealin' your soul
Making it rain
You act supreme as your fortune lit the sky
But it's a shell with a crack and you're just a plain guy
Play a pill 'cause the world made it easy to
I see the shimmering rocks moving closer to you
To your door, so make a move
Castle in the sky, pick and choose
If you want it, girl, could you share?
Cause that's the deal, if you dare, so
Tricklin' coins
Makin' a noise
Follow it blind
Follow the signs
Why would you want?
Someone so vain
Stealin' your soul
Making it rain
And play and pickin' designer shades, don't deny class
And the girls that you know want it mighty bad
They want your kids in a row
They'll be lining up fast to your door
So make a move, castle in the sky
Pick and choose
If you want him, would you share?
Cause that's the deal, girl.
Makin' a noise
Follow it blind
Follow the signs
Someone so vain
Stealin' your soul
Making it rain
But it's a shell with a crack and you're just a plain guy
Play a pill 'cause the world made it easy to
I see the shimmering rocks moving closer to you
To your door, so make a move
Castle in the sky, pick and choose
If you want it, girl, could you share?
Cause that's the deal, if you dare, so
Makin' a noise
Follow it blind
Follow the signs
Someone so vain
Stealin' your soul
Making it rain

This song is totally badass. The title might refer to the trippy "shuffling" feel of the song itself.
The lyrics appear to be about a protagonist witnessing a very affluent, seductive man. The first verse conveys that she is viewing him disdainfully at a distance, with his expensive toys, his high class, and the line of girls out of his front door who all want to mother his sexy little babies.
A guy like this can get any woman he wants. Therefore what other men view as their "castle in the sky," or their wildest fantasy, our man can simply "pick and choose." This man is a player, with many women vying for his committed attention. If you want some of his glorious sex, you better be willing to share.
I think the chorus indiscriminately follows a girl as she is lured by the mans wealth and big presence. She blindly follows his emotional cues right into bed with him. It flips into reflection, maybe regret, as she ponders her decision to "want someone so vain" who is "stealin your soul" and leaves you outside "lookin at rain."
Where the first verse and chorus seemed to be told from an outside perspective, I think the remaining verse and choruses are told from an intimate one. Perhaps our protagonist herself is caught in the man's seductive web? Regardless, she can now see him up close where his true nature is laid bare before her scrutinizing eyes. He is a "plain guy" underneath his superficial glow of wealth. She tells him to "play it big, cause the world made it easy to," because in the near future she sees his "deluxe watercraft" heading straight for those "shimmering rocks."
The third chorus has a heady, orgasmic climax with Yukimi overdubbing a background vocal part. This part suggests to me that the entire song leads up to the rush of attraction and subsequent consummation the protagonist encounters with this rich, seductive man.
