Wikipedia:
Aladdin Sane is the sixth studio album by David Bowie, released in 1973 as the follow-up to his breakthrough The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). Aladdin Sane was the first album he wrote and released after achieving global stardom.
Let’s Spend the Night Together is the only cover song on the album. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and recorded by the Rolling Stones in 1967, the song’s appearance on Aladdin Sane acknowledges the influence of the Stones on the entire record. While the original was psychedelic, Bowie’s rendition is faster, raunchier and more glam-influenced.

Lyrics:
Well, don’t you worry ’bout what’s been on my mind
I’m in no hurry, I can take my time
I’m going red and my tongue’s getting tired
Out of my head and my mouth’s getting dry
I’m h-h-h-high
