Hi ZB,
I did a short "hack" to place the lyrics on top/across the staff:
--snip--
\version "2.12.3"
% a short hack to place Lyrics on top of the staff
<<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "voc" \relative c' { a bes c8 b c4 }
>>
\new Lyrics \with {
% to place something on top of the staff, it may not use use any space
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
% now we shift Lyric text *and* extenders *and* hyphens.
% the amount here is found by trial and error - there's probably a
better way to align it vertically ...
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 8)
\override LyricExtender #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 8)
\override LyricHyphen #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 8)
} \lyricsto "voc" { La la -- la __ _ la }
>>
--snip--
Is this what you're looking for?
Regards,
Jan-Peter.

Hello,
I couldn't find anything useful re: placing the lyrics inside the staff -
i.e. shifting vertically
is it possible?
thanks,
