There's a perfect example of this in the development version of the documentation (and it should work even with the stable version of LilyPond). <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to -lyrics#divisi-lyrics> In this case it's done as divisi lyrics, but one can't tell the difference between divisi lyrics and two different stanzas.
