Am I obtuse? What's the connection between the song and the instructions?

William Gibson borrowed the name of the song for one of his books.

I didn't know that there was a song by the same name. Y'ain't obtuse.

The Velvet Underground's All Tomorrow's Parties from the album The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967)

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties

I explored 3 (three) neighborhoods. Neighborhood one was the one near my house and there were RANCH style houses made in the mid 1950's. Ranch houses are both awesome and popular, not to mention useful! They usually have like, 3 bedrooms and just a...
