It depends what you want to do exactly, that's why a short example showing the 
missing bit is helpful.  So, as Phil suggested, \markup might be what you want, 
or maybe you could put it in quotes as one long element of the lyrics, attached 
to the holding note.  There's a section in the Notation Reference which shows 
these two ideas:
