This song is their attempt to "Break On Through To The Other Side".

Marcus Greil has some great material on Stagger Lee, who seems to be a recurring archetype and inspiration in rock music. "Get It On" may be another example of this archetype. I think that Greil wrote about this in his book "Mystery Train".
