Wouldn't something like

skipper = \lyricmode { _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ }
\score {
    \new Staff <<
    \tempo 4=90
      \new Voice { \chorusmusic \break \versesmusic }
      \addlyrics { \chorus \firstVerse }
      \addlyrics { \skipper \secondVerse }
    >>
  \layout { }
}

work? where \skipper has a matching number of syllables to \chorus.

Cheers,
David.
