Hm... Take a look at this for ideas. Something like this is probably the most 
logical solution, though it would certainly be a lot _easier_ to do it with 
lots of rests instead.

\score {
{
 \addlyrics
   \context Staff = X \context Voice = A \notes {c c c c}
   \context LyricsVoice = A \lyrics {x x x x }
<<
 \context Staff = X \notes { s8 }
 \context LyricsVoice = A \lyrics { "" }
 \context LyricsVoice = B \lyrics { "" }
 \addlyrics
   \context Staff = X \context Voice = A \notes { c4 c2 c4}
   \context Lyrics \context LyricsVoice = A \lyrics { y y y }
 \addlyrics   
   \context Staff = X\context Voice = B \notes { b2 b2 }
   \context LyricsVoice = B \lyrics { z z }

 \addlyrics
   \context Staff = X \context Voice = A \notes {d d d d}
   \context LyricsVoice = A \lyrics { w w w w }
}

\paper{}
