Hi,

\addlyrics  is equivalent to  \new Lyrics .
Spacing between staff and lyrics is not controlled by
'staff-staff-spacing  but by  'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing .

See "Spacing of non-staff lines" within the doc:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems.html#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines

Cheers,
Xavier
