Mike, this might be an a more promising approach:

<<
 \new Staff {
   \repeat unfold 20 \skip 4
 }
 \new Lyrics
   \with {
     \override VerticalAxisGroup
       #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'((padding . -3))
   }
 \lyricmode {
   \skip 4 Attention4 K-Mart4 shoppers.4
   \skip 4 Today's4 Blue4 Light4
   special1*1/5 can1*1/5 be1*1/5 found1*1/5 in1*1/5
   aisle4 seven.4 \skip 2
   Aisle4 seven,4 K-Mart4 shoppers.4
 }
 \new Staff {
   \repeat unfold 40 a'8
 }

But being able to space a spoken phrase evenly between
two end points would be a welcome enhancement.
