I'd strongly recommend to upgrade and convert-ly to a newer stable or even
unstable version, where you could write (just the code which seems
relevant):

<<
  \new Lyrics \with {
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing = #'(
      (basic-distance . 0)
      (basic-distance . 0)
      (stretchability . 0)
    (padding . 0))
  }
  {
    \lyricmode {
      % \override LyricText.extra-offset = #'(0.0 . -1.90)
      \override LyricText.font-size = #-1
      "The"2 "extra"2 "space"2 "above"2 "these"2 "words."2
    }
  }
  \new Staff \notes
>>
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override System  #'stencil = #box-grob-stencil
  }
}

hope I understood what you're after
