1) Name the Staff
2) Name the voices explicitly
3) Use \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = StaffContextName } \lyricsto
VoiceContextName \lyricmode
that should get you everything you need.
for an example:
\version "2.12.3"
\score {
<<
\new Staff = "Voices" { \new Voice = first { c' d' << { \voiceOne e' }
\new Voice = second { \voiceTwo c'4 } >> \oneVoice f' } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto first \lyricmode { c d e f }
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = Voices } \lyricsto second
\lyricmode { c }
>>
}
