Where does this rule come from?

Why should \new SomeThing be followed by { .. } ?

I don't really understand what the error is (and it is not
obvious to me that it lies in the input rather than in the
parser), but there are several ways to work around it, like
changing the order (\new Lyrics before lyricsto) as Trevor
said, or adding an explicit \lyricmode.

  \new Staff { \new Voice = "dirge" { c''1 } }
  \lyricsto "dirge" \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Whoops }
  \tag #'harmony \new Staff { a'1 }
