The Disco Strangler Lyrics
Lookin' for the good life
dressed to kill
She don't have to worry 'cause
there's always someone else who will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancin' underneath the flashin' light
sayin, "Look at me, baby, look at me.
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody." Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
He's been around here all along, baby,
Been waiting for his time to come.
You lookin' for attention, darlin'
He will surely give you some
He's the crimson in your face du jour,
the fiddler in your darkest night.
He's the melody without a cure and
Rome is burning, but that's all right.
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
dressed to kill
She don't have to worry 'cause
there's always someone else who will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancin' underneath the flashin' light
sayin, "Look at me, baby, look at me.
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody." Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
He's been around here all along, baby,
Been waiting for his time to come.
You lookin' for attention, darlin'
He will surely give you some
the fiddler in your darkest night.
He's the melody without a cure and
Rome is burning, but that's all right.
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler

It's also their commentary on the late 70's disco scene. They would frequent the clubs and see empty souls who were caught up in the night club/disco scene. Good song about the big city, late 70's life.
Really one of the Eagle's B-sides even though its a pretty good song. The song is self-explanatory if read deep into the lyrics. Its about a murderer who seducts women at night clubs... hence the disco strangler.
I would say it was a song about the negativity of the disco era, and I agree the song deals with a murderer who targets drunk and loose women at such places who are so caught up in themselves that they are taken totally unaware. I find it extremely dark. It is a serious song for sure.

I feel the Long Run sort of runs a thematic "disco" atmosphere wth this song, Those Shoes and maybe King of Hollywood
And i forgot Heartache Tonight they all fit the Disco theme.
"Loose and loaded" epitomizes the mid/late 70s.
