I¹d recommend entering your lyrics like normal and using notes or spaces in
the staff.  Then, do massive amounts of transparency overrides and/or
context removes.  The internals reference should give you a lead on what to
turn off.  Also, check out:

staff-container.ly
staff-size.ly

Lastly, you¹d want to raise the lyrics, which can be done w/ extra-offset
(and probably other things).
