The problem is that the PianoStaff context does not accept a Lyrics
context by default, so it is pushed outside.  To do what you what,
change the PianoStaff line to:

  \new PianoStaff \with { \accepts Lyrics } <<

so that Lyrics can be included within it.

I'll see if I can add this to the docs somewhere.
