very cool! the thing i always liked about eyeball kid was that it was one of those songs that he always played live but never released, kind of like strange weather. i thought it was a strange tune in the context of 'mule variations', maybe a better fit on 'bone machine', but its tom, therefore i love it however it comes.

"There's a blue eyed girl with a red bow tie
and a string of pearls with one good eye"
Tom Waits - On the Other Side of the World.
I found it amusing - one good eye; blue eye, red bow tie; the other side of the world; eyeball kid - recurrent themes.
He's got something in his eye.

Mysterious colors in the image. Makes me think of Lovecraft's tales.... :D

And I, for one, can understand why.
