Ever since I was a little baby
Had the devil on my mind
Two dimensional Satan on the wall
And the thread would start to wind
Hold me closer
Move aside Mr. Wilson
Please move aside
In the sand the circle getting bigger
Till it all gets out of hand
On the mountain.. let go of the angel
And to my mom I ran
Hold me closer
Any day.. yesterday.. there's tomorrow to say
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand...
What's this mark upon my hand
My nose was held shut and my mouth open
With a spoon shoved down my throat
One little piggy walking with a pumpkin
And a mustard headed goat
Hold me closer
Please move aside Mr. Wilson
Would you please move aside
Hey Betty May, it's summertime in Jersey
Don't you know the kids will freeze
Please don't pop your eyes out for me deary
Cause the man behind you sees
Hold me closer
Anyday... yesterday... there's tomorrow to say
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand...
What's this mark upon my hand?
At the bottom of a box of five black markers
Is a buried Swedish pen
If at Thanksgiving... if you want to see me
Then you better be my kin
Hold me closer
For the love of god, Mr. Wilson
For the love of god
Anyday... yesterday... there's tomorrow to say
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand
What's this mark upon my hand
Would you sing a song for me
'Cause I broke your rosary
Had the devil on my mind
Two dimensional Satan on the wall
And the thread would start to wind
Move aside Mr. Wilson
Please move aside
Till it all gets out of hand
On the mountain.. let go of the angel
And to my mom I ran
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand...
What's this mark upon my hand
With a spoon shoved down my throat
One little piggy walking with a pumpkin
And a mustard headed goat
Please move aside Mr. Wilson
Would you please move aside
Don't you know the kids will freeze
Please don't pop your eyes out for me deary
Cause the man behind you sees
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand...
What's this mark upon my hand?
Is a buried Swedish pen
If at Thanksgiving... if you want to see me
Then you better be my kin
For the love of god, Mr. Wilson
For the love of god
Let's forget it anyway
Can you try to understand
What's this mark upon my hand
Would you sing a song for me
'Cause I broke your rosary

Great song. King's X is the shit.
Lots of symbolism and references to good vs evil. The bible makes numerous mentions to markings on the hand or head which I think is the clue that seals the meaning to this one for me.
The narrator tells us in the first verse that Satan has always occupied his thoughts:
Ever since I was a little baby Had the devil on my mind Two dimensional Satan on the wall And the thread would start to wind
In Revelation 13, there is the story of the Beast from the Sea and the Beast from the Earth. This is the essence of the song, in my opinion.
The Mark of the Beast And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, and that number is 666.
i think this song is pretty random really, parts of it could be talking about not believing in god because it was forced upon him but im not sure, i love the chorus though it just brings a smile to my face everytime i hear it
