Well, like this:
\version "2.14.2"
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics

#'minumum-distance = ##f
\override LyricText #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0.6 . 2.0)
}
}
aliceSings = \markup { \smallCaps "Alice" }
eveSings = \markup { \smallCaps "Eve" }

In the first line, Alice and Eve alternate strictly in singing, so their
lyrics get collapsed:
ALICE EVE ALICE EVE
maybe that the second words are
After the manual line break, Alice cuts off Eve with a bit of overlap.
Their lyrics stay on different lines, which makes sense:
EVE ALICE
Shut up, you fool!
