The secret of his strength was his hair: as long as it remained uncut he was stronger than ay other man. He was betrayed by Delilah the woman he loved, who shaved his head and handed him over to his enemies, but when his hair grew back he pulled the house down on them as described above. This explains the lyrics about "missy aggravation" (Delilah, who got the secret of his hair out of him by annoying him) and the reference to stroking his locks (of hair)
Many of the Pixies early songs had references to old testament stories in them. Black Francis was just into the weirdness and violence of the old testament apparently...

What exactly does this mean? Does it have anything to do with the testament?

"missy aggravation
some sacred questions
you stroke my locks
some marijuana
if you got some "
although they probably didn't smoke weed back then, Frank Black was trying to say that Delihah got the hair secret out of him by giving him drugs along with having sex with him and bothering him.

But thank god The Pixies wrote it, not those bastards from Papa Roach, eh? : - D

i think its very possible that Samson and Delilah, in the literal sense of the story and the allegorical are mixed here. This song is very sexually charged to me. I can't help but think of gouging...the act of gouging as sex and he is inviting a woman over. To have sex....and smoke pot.
The consequence it obvious to him. He will lose power to her. Have to appease and please her as everyday men do. They are cut down by women, answering sacred questions (women were not supposed to know things), and are inevitably blinded by women and their power over them, chained to them as well....
...then it starts all over again....because, well, men are idiots. So stay all day, if you want to...

And on the snake comment. What is believed is that snakes had legs of a sort, something that kept them off their stomachs, originally. After the snake temped and deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden God cursed the serpent to crawl on its belly. This reference to the snake in the song might be relevant in the way that like the snake's tempting of Eve caused the down fall of Adam and Eve, Dalilah serves as the "snake" in this stody, her temptation causing the downfall of Samson.
The story of Samson has always been my favourite bible story. Great story, amazing song.
