Silver Ember Trade

(hm mmm)

Tony works the fire station,

fighting through the smoke

But in his quiet shop,

he's trading silver under oak

Stacking up the precious metal,

shining in the gray

Going live to sell the silver,

bidding starts today

Going live on whatnot,

watch the silver shine

Old coins from the rubble,

beauty saved in time

Fireman Tony's selling till the final flame grows cold

Trade your paper dollars for this heavy silver gold

(oh Lord) Half-dollar beauties from a century ago

Melted in the crucible,

watch the liquid glow

Between the sirens wailing and the embers in the night

He keeps the auction moving by the flickering of light

Going live on whatnot,

watch the silver shine

Old coins from the rubble,

beauty saved in time

Fireman Tony's selling

till the final flame grows cold

Trade your paper dollars for this heavy silver gold

Going once, going twice...

Sold to the man in the back.

(hm

mmm)
