You are correct (according to Michael Stipe and R.E.M.):
"That's great, it starts with an earthquake...
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.
Feed it up a knock, grunt, no, strength, no,
Ladder structure to clatter with fear fight down height.
Fire in a wire, representing seven games.
A government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry,
With the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low plane! Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs.
Listen to your heart bleed tell me with the rapture.
And the revered and the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight,
Bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it
But I feel fine..."
Great song ... great album ... GREAT band!
Peace to you ...

The spot where two techtonic plates release energy. When two plates are moving in different directions (slip fault) or if they are running into each other (thrust fault), at one point or another, they get 'stuck'. Over time, more and more energy builds up as these two plates don't move and at one point or another it ends up 'popping' and all the movement that hasn't been happening while the two were stuck happens all at once. When this happens, all the energy is released into waves through the earth causing the earthquake. So, answer to the question, it starts on the fault line where the two plates move suddenly.

You're starting at the wrong end. Go to the other end, then ease into it. Then you'll feel a trembling, shaking, then comes the earthquake, followed by an inner explosion. lol.
