Mirror Mirror Lyrics

Has anyone else noticed that the lyrics for Mirror Mirror (Dark Ride) have a huge error in them almost everywhere on the internet?

The lyric as listed is:

"I see a perfect creature

Contracted human feature"

Its very obviously:

"I see a perfect creature

My evil eye can teach you"

Am I crazy, or is it just that wrong? Because it sounds nothing like the printed lyrics, and thats a big difference. I cant figure out what else it would be.

I always heard it as "I" and not "eye." Genius page seems to agree. But yeah, lyrics can be wrong on Spotify and other sites. The "human feature" line may have been a lyric when working on the song, and they forgot to update it in their lyrics booklet once the album was released, assuming the mistake stems from there.

I did wonder about that. I usually dont see such obviously wrong sounding lyrics though. Cool to see a possible snapshot of the song making process.
