partial multi-line lyrics above staff

I have a case where I want to print lyrics that have some parts on 
separate lines. But want all the lyrics above the bass staff line.  This 
is for the bass player to follow - no other staffs needed. The following 
sample is based on lilypond documentation but I'm not quite getting 
there because the bass line is coming between lyric lines instead after 
all the lyrics.


sample code:

\version "2.26.0"

\score {
   <<
     \new Lyrics \lyricmode  {
       Not re -- peat -- ed.
       <<
         { The first time words.    }
     \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
       Sec -- ond time words.
     }
     \new Lyrics \lyricmode {
       The third time words.
     }
       >>
       The end sec -- tion.
     }
     \new Staff {
       \new Voice  {
         \relative {
           \clef bass
       a,4 a a a
       \repeat volta 3 { b4 b b b }
           c4 c c c
     }
       }
     }
   >>
}
