I'm afraid this your answer isn't very useful. As an experienced user, I
can guess
that what you really mean is that you attach the lyrics to a Voice that
begins with
rests (you could just as well have used s1*8 if you don't want the rests
printed,
i.e. if you don't have a separate stave for the melody).
Here, it seems that he wants the intro and the melody in the same stave and
if you then want to fiddle with several Voice contexts in the same
stave, you
could just as well use the method described in "Divisi lyrics" in the manual
(the second example in that section).
