Hi,
I need a way to specify which beats the words of my
lyrics fall on independent of the voice that they are
associated with.  In the attached example I have
three words that I want on the corresponding beats:
one, two, three.  However, because the voice has a
half note for the last two beats Lilypond overlaps the
words 'two' and 'three' -- even though I've tried to override
by placing length numbers after every word.  I do want
the words to follow the music, for example if some
accidentals move the horizontal placement of the beat, etc.
Thanks for any help!

I hope I'm not misinterpreting your question, but have you tried an underscore between the words?

\version "2.10.17"
\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \time 3/4

    \new Voice {
      \key g \major
      b4 a2
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
