Thanks, I think I should be able to make this work.

There are probably many ways, but here's something I thought of:

\version "2.16.2"

someMusic = \repeat "unfold" 100 c'4

verseI = \lyricmode {
  \repeat "unfold" 100 a
}

verseII = \lyricmode {
  \repeat "unfold" 100 b
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \RhythmicStaff
    \name "Line"
    \remove "Bar_engraver"
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \accepts Line
    \remove "System_start_delimiter_engraver"
  }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \someMusic
    \new Lyrics \verseI
    \new Line \repeat "unfold" 100 s4
    \new Lyrics \verseII
  >>
}

You'll have to tweak some of the properties of the Line context in order to get it to behave "perfectly".

Hope this helps!
