There's a perfect example of this in the development version of the
documentation (and it should work even with the stable version of LilyPond).

<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to

In this case it's done as divisi lyrics, but one can't tell the difference
between divisi lyrics and two different stanzas.
