<p>I feel in love with a beautiful boy on the black sand<br />
He took me away, I was never the same on the black sand<br />
He said, &#8220;Who’s going to love you buried underground?&#8221;<br />
Oh, on the black sand<br />
A mother unwed with a scar down her chest on the black sand<br />
She met her mate on the old army base back in Thailand<br />
Who’s going to love him, when all that’s lost is found?<br />
Oh, on the black sand</p>
<p>On the black sand</p>
<p>I have this dream where I’m down on my knees on the black sand<br />
I’m facing the sea as the wind pushes me down to my hands<br />
Who’s going to mind, when the end is nigh?<br />
Oh, on the black sand</p>
<p>On the black sand</p>
<p>On the black sand</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First and foremost, I am a marketer. So I get this. But this is somewhat bizarre.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.commitlozenge.com/softcoin/default.aspx" target="_blank">Commit</a> recently launched a rewards program for a nicotine cessation product in a cappuccino (something just as addictive) flavored lozenge. I&#8217;ve worked on loyalty programs for the largest brands in the world to encourage ongoing consumption. Here is where I&#8217;m struggling:  GlaxoSmithKline is in the biz of weening folks off nicotine, but at the same time creating a loyalty program? Interesting.</p>
