Lyric baseline inconsistency

For barbershop, I often need lyrics to appear above the line, rather than below. I know how to type them in, and then use x to move them above the staff. But after going to continuous view and back to page view, I see things as shown in the attachment. (Sorry, but it appears that dragging the jpg screenshot into the Choose a File box even with Insert checked doesn't show it.)

Once you've looked at it, please tell me what caused it, and if there is a way to get everything back to a common baseline.

Thanks!
