For me,

  \lilypond[quote]{\new Lyrics \tempo 4 = 90}

works just fine, but requires at least version 2.17.8, exactly because
of that score with no music issue.

You can probably do

\begin{lilypond}
  \new Lyrics { \tempo 4 = 90 "" }
\end{lilypond}

in older versions.  That additionally typesets one quarter note of ""
lyrics.
