It's not so much that the lungs need alot of blood, but more that the blood depends on the lungs. The nature of the lungs allows the blood to pick up and carry oxogen to the rest of the body and the very thin membranes of the lungs allow the exchange of gasses, oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of the blood.
