What are you talking about? He is talking about fluorescent lights. Fluorescents, plural. Simple as that. Perhaps his grammar would be more correct if he said "fluorescent lights" but that spoils the lyrical flow. Absolute correct grammar is often left at the door in poetry and lyrics. And besides, fluorescents is commonly used as a short way of saying fluorescent lights in the lighting industry.
