Lyrics and clefs

I would like to use the treble clef down an octave (G_8) for the tenor
voice in transcribing a choral piece.  I notice that the lyrics are
placed lower than when a simple treble clef is used, as if they are
trying to avoid clashing with the 8 below the clef.  Is there a way I
can get the lyrics higher?

I append an example file.

Thanks
