no need to associate a voice with a melody (voice)!
in the following code the text is between the 2 staves.
uppertop = \relative c'' { c2 c4 c }
upperbottom = \relative c' { a4 a a a }
mytext = \lyricmode { ce4 be2 de4 }
\new GrandStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper"
<<
\new Voice = "toppart1" { \voiceOne \uppertop }
\new Voice = "toppart2" { \voiceTwo \upperbottom }
\new Lyrics \mytext
>>
\new Staff = "lower" <<
\new Voice = "lowpart1" { \voiceOne \uppertop }
\new Voice = "lowpart2" { \voiceTwo \upperbottom }
>>

i think there are more examples about polyphonic notation in the manuals
